Re: Is it possible to design the supply and return air from same grill...?
I have an area in a industrial building that used this concept 60 years ago, the single duct provides supply air on the outside and internal duct provided return. This system does not work very well the supply air tends to short cycle right back into the return. I think if it were reversed it might have worked better supply on the internal duct and return on the outside, assuming you have enough throw. Again you have to avoid short cycling the air. I tried to find commercially available duct like I am descibing but was unable to find a source for them. I know someonw used to make it, I have only seen this in one place and suspect they quit manufacturing.

Not suggesting that you buy these units but they are made.

Why can you not use a ceiling grille to receive the return air ?
If you are not allowed to use the ceiling then what access do you have for filter and unit maintenance?Brian - Newton Abbot, Devon, UK

Is it possible to incorporate a return air path through any ceiling mounted light fittings?
