Rasheed,
What we do is model the zones in eQuest as a PVVT system, and then use the air change method for the natural ventilation.
To determine the proper air change rate, we use an IES model of the space(s), and input those results into eQuest.
It's not perfect, but it has passed LEED review.
Ideally you would build the whole model in IES or an e+ variant, but that brings along other challenges.
Good luck.

eQUEST might not be the best suited for this - you might want to look into some of the other packages - IES, design builder or a CFD package.
