Fans Are Consuming Too Much Energy

I am running an OpenStudio model. My fans are consuming 1/3 of the energy despite turning heating nearly off, and cooling way down. Is it because the fan continues to pump in Outside Air?

Any idea on how to reduce the fans energy consumption? It should be half of what it currently is...

Thanks.
