Please tag your question with the software your are using (energyplus and/or openstudio since you mention idf)

Both of them are available in OpenStudio and will allow you to input airflow and fan electricity consumption. The first one makes it simpler to add infiltration to compensate for exhaust for example, so I suggest starting with this one.
