a. a primary air inlet for receiving primary air and having an air flow direction through the primary air inlet;
b. a plenum having walls for receiving primary air from the primary air inlet;
c. at least one induction nozzle communicating with the primary air in the plenum;
d. a mixing chamber separate from the plenum and downstream from the at least one induction nozzle for receiving primary air from the at least one induction nozzle;
e. a return air inlet for receiving return air from the occupied space and conducting the return air into the mixing chamber;
f. a supply air outlet for receiving air from the mixing chamber and directing the air into the occupied space; and
