This overflow of air -- supply air provided to one zone, mixes with an adjacent zone, then eventually exhausted or returned back to central air system from the adjacent zone -- is also known as transfer air. This post has a good discussion on how to apply this in EnergyPlus using the ZoneMixing object (defines the one-way mixing of air between two zones).
DesignBuilder allows you to define air mixing between zones within an Interzone Airflow dialog. Here you can define the mixing process (zones involved, the flow rate, controls for temperature or time-based schedule limits).
