Ventilation fan electrical consumption

Hello,

I am working on an energy model using equest and I am trying to find out
a way to decrease the ventilation fan electrical consumption of my
building. The problem is I am not sure what exactly determines that
calculation, so I would be appreciative if someone could explain that to
me.

Thanks!

The volumetric flow rates and static pressures of your supply and
return/exhaust fans are the direct contributors to fan energy
consumption; motor and fan efficiencies will contribute indirectly.
