2019-09-10 21:45:47 -0500 marked best answer Fan energy with Zonehvac:IdealLoadsAirSystem in EnergyPlus

Hi - is it possible model fan energy and the associated heat pick up with the zonehvac:IdealLoadsAirSystem?

For early design modeling purposes the IdealLoadsAirSystem is very nice as it is simple to set up and can model heat recovery and economizers. The only thing missing is a good way to approximate fan energy with the mechanical ventilation rates of the system.
