[EnergyPlus_Support] ASHRAE Compliant Fans and Pumps

["eddiecorwin" <ecorwin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am curious as to how people have gone about modeling ASHRAE compliant pumps and fans.  

The pumps seem relatively strait forward, run the model, see what the flow is, then enter in a wattage that equates to 22W/GPM.  The fans, however, do not have an input for the rated wattage.  The only option I see is to alter the fan's Motor Efficiency until you get close to the correct W/CFM.  

Are these the same methods people have applied in the past, or is there a better way to the the correct W/GPM and W/CFM?
