You should have entered Outdoor Generic Contaminant Schedule Name in ZoneAirContaminantBalance. I don't know the actual outdoor contaminant level you are using, but let's say it is 100 [ppm]. If the collection efficiency of your air filter is 95% for example, you can change the Outdoor Generic Contaminant Schedule from 100 [ppm] to 100*(1-0.95) = 5 [ppm].

Another Option: If you want to model hybrid ventilation, you can keep the Outdoor Generic Contaminant Schedule 100 [ppm] and use ZoneContaminantSourceAndSink:Generic:Constant to model how much contaminant is removed by the air filter.
