1. A hydronic assembly for use with a new or existing building's water distribution system including hydronic piping having a hydronic supply riser and hydronic return riser and for use with the building's air distribution system including an air duct having an air ventilation branch duct to provide heating, cooling, and ventilation to a unit of the building in which it is designed to service, comprising:
an enclosure including a first end, a second end, the first end opposite the second end, a first side, a second side, the first side opposite the second side, an interior cavity spanning the distance between the first end and the second end and the distance between the first side and the second side, an air supply diffuser disposed at the first end including a return air inlet for receiving and recirculating air from the unit back into the enclosure and a supply air outlet for supplying air to the unit, the enclosure further including a return air separation baffle extending from the first end toward the second end, the return air separation baffle separating the return air inlet and the supply air outlet;
a hydronic coil disposed within the interior cavity of the enclosure, the hydronic coil removably attachable to the hydronic piping and configured to heat or cool air recirculated and ventilated into the enclosure, the hydronic coil including piping and a finned portion including one or more fins to provide additional heat or cold transfer to air recirculated or ventilated into the enclosure, the enclosure removably attachable to the hydronic piping at the hydronic coil piping;
a valve control station disposed within the interior cavity of the enclosure, the valve control station coupled to the hydronic coil piping and configured to control the flow of water through the hydronic coil; and
an air supply booster fan disposed within the interior cavity of the enclosure between the hydronic coil and the air supply diffuser, the air supply booster fan configured to mix air recirculated into enclosure with air ventilated into the enclosure prior to the air contacting the hydronic coil.
