Modeling DOAS supply through a Hallway?

Hi all,

I am wondering about the appropriate way to model a DOAS system? I'm looking at a multi-family residential, with a split-heat pumps for heat/cool in the units, and rooftop DOAS (gas reheat, no cooling) which is supplied into the hallways, and through the hallways into the residential units themselves. There is no direct supply from the DOAS into the residential units - it is only through the hallways. The residential units have typical bath/kitchen extract fans.

So I wonder what the appropriate way to model a fresh air configuration of this sort would be? Can I connect the residential zones downstream of the hallways somehow? If there are any good examples / documentation / references for something of this sort I would appreciate any information.

thank you! -Ed
