[Bldg-sim] Modeling a Cooling Tower

Hello everyone,
   I was curious if anyone has a program or excel program that models the
fan energy and pumping energy of cooling towers. I currently use IES-VE,
which does not have any cooling tower capabilities (to my knowledge), so I
end up calculating the fan and pump energy for the cooling towers in a crude
excel sheet. Does anyone have a better way to do this that takes into
account the air WB temp, load of the building, and size of fan? Thanks for
the help!
