1. An air management system for circulating air in an enclosed environment, comprising: an air handling unit (AHU), the AHU including an indoor air inlet to receive an indoor airflow from the enclosed environment and an indoor air outlet to expel the indoor airflow;a conditioning element arranged between the inlet and the outlet configured to at least heat or cool the indoor airflow as it flows thereover;one or more fan units arranged between the inlet and the outlet configured to provide velocity to the indoor airflow; andan air treatment assembly (ATA) arranged within or proximate the AHU, the ATA including an air inlet configured to receive a portion of the indoor airflow received by the AHU indoor air inlet, a regenerable adsorbent material configured to treat the received indoor airflow by adsorbing at least one gaseous contaminant contained in the received indoor airflow, and an outlet for expelling the air treated by the adsorbent material back into the AHU,wherein the ATA includes an outdoor air inlet and an outdoor air outlet. 2. The system according to claim 1, wherein the ATA inlet and ATA outlet are arranged downstream from the conditioning element. 3. The system according to claim 1, wherein the one or more fans are located downstream from the conditioning element, the ATA inlet is arranged downstream from the AHU inlet, and the ATA outlet is arranged downstream from the ATA inlet and upstream from the conditioning element. 4. The system according to claim 1, wherein the one or more fans are located downstream from the conditioning element, the ATA inlet is arranged downstream from the one or more fans, and the ATA outlet is arranged downstream from the ATA inlet. 5. The system according to claim 1, wherein the one or more fans are located downstream from the conditioning element, the ATA outlet is arranged downstream from the AHU inlet and upstream from the conditioning element, and the ATA inlet is arranged downstream from the ATA outlet and downstream from the one or more fans. 6. The system according to claim 1, wherein the one or more fans are located downstream from the conditioning element, the ATA outlet is arranged upstream from the conditioning element, and the ATA inlet is arranged downstream from the conditioning element and upstream from the one or more fans. 7. The system according to claim 6 wherein the conditioning element is configured to receive the indoor airflow for cooling thereof prior to entering the ATA inlet. 8. The system according to claim 6 wherein the indoor air flows through the conditioning element prior to entering the ATA inlet and following exiting the ATA outlet the indoor air flows again through the conditioning element. 9. The system according to claim 6, wherein the ATA inlet is arranged upstream from the one or more fans. 10. The system according to claim 1, wherein the one or more fans are located downstream from the conditioning element, the ATA outlet is arranged upstream from the one or more fans and the ATA inlet is arranged downstream from the one or more fans. 11. The system according to claim 1 wherein the one or more fan units are configured to direct indoor airflow into the ATA without requiring a booster fan associated with the ATA. 12. The system according to claim 1, wherein the one or more fans are located downstream from the conditioning element, the ATA outlet is arranged upstream from the conditioning element and the A TA in let is arranged downstream from the one or more fans. 13. The system according to claim 1, wherein the AHU includes a first housing and the ATA includes a second housing. 14. The system according to claim 13, wherein the second housing is arranged within the first housing. 15. The system according to claim 13, wherein the second housing is arranged outside the first housing. 16. The system according to claim 1, wherein the ATA includes a purging airflow inlet configured to direct a purging airflow over and/or through the adsorbent material, said purging airflow either directly or indirectly heated by at least one of, a heat pump, a gas furnace, solar heat, an electrical coil, and hot water. 17. The system according to claim 1, wherein the AHU comprises a condenser and a purging airflow configured to flow over and/or through the adsorbent material is either directly or indirectly heated by the condenser. 18. The system according to claim 1, wherein the at least one gaseous contaminant is selected from the group consisting of: carbon dioxide, volatile organic compounds, sulfur oxides, radon, nitrous oxides and carbon monoxide. 19. An air management system for circulating air in an enclosed environment, comprising: an air handling unit (AHU), the AHU including an indoor air inlet to receive an indoor airflow from the enclosed environment and an indoor air outlet to expel the indoor airflow;a conditioning element arranged between the inlet and the outlet configured to at least heat or cool the indoor airflow as it flows thereover;one or more fan units arranged between the inlet and the outlet configured to provide velocity to the indoor airflow; andan air treatment assembly (ATA) arranged within or proximate the AHU, the ATA including an air inlet configured to receive a portion of the indoor airflow received by the AHU indoor air inlet, a regenerable adsorbent material configured to treat the received indoor airflow by adsorbing at least one gaseous contaminant contained in the received indoor airflow, and an outlet for expelling the air treated by the adsorbent material back into the AHU, wherein the adsorbent material is contained within a cartridge configured to be removable from the ATA. 20. A method for circulating air in an enclosed environment, comprising: providing an air management system fix circulating air in the enclosed environment, the system comprising: an air handling unit (AHU), the AHU including an indoor air inlet to receive an indoor airflow from the enclosed environment and an indoor air outlet to expel the indoor airflow;a conditioning element arranged between the inlet and the outlet configured to at least heat or cool the indoor airflow as it flows thereover;one or more fan units arranged between the inlet and the outlet configured to provide velocity to the indoor airflow; andan air treatment assembly (ATA) arranged within or proximate the AHU, the ATA including an air inlet configured w receive a portion of the indoor airflow, a regenerable adsorbent material configured to treat the received indoor airflow by adsorbing at least one gaseous contaminant contained in the received indoor airflow, and an outlet for expelling the received indoor airflow treated by the adsorbent material;anddirecting the indoor airflow to the indoor air inlet of the AHU;cooling the indoor airflow by directing the indoor airflow to flow from the inlet of the AHU, over the conditioning element;during a scrubbing cycle, receiving a portion of the cooled indoor airflow received by the indoor air inlet of the AHU and directing the received indoor airflow to the inlet of the ATA;flowing the received indoor airflow over and/or through the adsorbent material to adsorb the at least one gaseous contaminant;directing the treated received indoor airflow to the outlet of the ATA;cooling the indoor airflow again by directing the indoor airflow to flow from the outlet of the ATA over the conditioning element;during a regeneration cycle, directing a purging airflow to the ATA; andflowing the purging airflow over and/or through the adsorbent material to release the at least one gaseous contaminant previously adsorbed by the adsorbent material, so as to regenerate the adsorbent material.
