AirflowNetwork for multizone controlled by single zone

I am trying to model the temperature distribution in a building with three glass walls. I have split the space into 4 perimeter and 1 central zone. Zone 1 (east facing parrimeter zone) is equipt with a zone evaporative cooler and zone 3 (west facing perimeter zone) contains a zone exaust fan. Is there a way to model the air flow between these zones using an airflow network? I have included opperable widows between each zone and referenced them in the AirflowNetwork:MultiZone:Surface, AirflowNetwork:MultiZone:Component:HorizontalOpening and AirflowNetwork:MultiZone:Component:SimpleOpening. Except for zone 1 (which contains the evaporative cooler), there is no change in air temperature when mechanical systems are on vs. off. Thank you
