Do you just need to model the fan energy use or do you have a heat exchanger as well?

If you just need to model a fan then the ZoneVentilation:DesignFlowRate object will do the job, it brings in fresh air to the space and calculates the energy used by the fan.

If you need a heat exchanger or are feeding multiple zones with one fan and only want to model that one fan, you could set up a standard AHU and switch the coils you use to off. It might even work with no coils at all.
