Hi,
Since your fan doesn't bring air from outdoors, or an other zone, it's effect may be limited to two things: - the fan's motor adds some internal thermal gain - air velocity is increased in the zone, which may be relevant if you examine comfort. By default, e+ uses constant 0.137 m/s for PMV/PPD, you may increase air velocity by creating your own Air Velocity Schedule in the IDF file if you care about comfort.
Hope this helps
