energy plus Can one fan operate such that it blows air in either direction? Or can a fan only blow air in one direction?

In energy plus, Can one fan operate such that it blows air in either direction? Or can a fan only blow air in one direction? If it is possible to have a bidirectional fan in a zone, what object or field is needed to trigger this.

If it is possible to have a bidirectional fan in a zone, what object or field is needed to trigger this.this. For better clarification on this: I am trying to model a 3 zone airflow network with two fans in each zone. One fan will be responsible for pushing ambient air into each zone and the other fan would serve as an exhaust fan. Secondly, I want to also implement two fans in between adjacent zones -one fan should blow air from zone A to zone B and the other fan should blow air from zone B to zone A. Is this possible to do in energy plus? If yes, how do I go about it?

Please your answers will go a long way to help me.
