The formula for G3.1.2.9 inlcudes the fan power for both the supply and return fans.
The baseline model should usually be modeled as per the design i.e. if there are return fans then model them. However if for some reason you would like to calculate the supply and return power together and enter it as a supply fan you can do so also. You shouldn’t ignore the return.

Subject: [Equest-users] ASHRAE G3.1.2.9 Supply Fan Power
Hi All,
If an HVAC system comprises both a supply and return fan, and the formula for G3.1.2.9 is used, does the result, Pfan, represent ALL of the fan power for that system including supply and return? If so, should the baseline model only depict the supply fan values (CFM, kW/CFM, etc.) and ignore the return?
Many thanks,
