I typically see around 0.000400 on HP system.  Give or take a little bit depending on how you do your calc and what kind of electrical efficiency you assess to a fractional hp motor.

Subject: [Equest-users] Water Loop HP system type fan power

The eQUEST default is .000070 kW/cfm for the HP system type. This is the same as the default for Unit Heaters, and seems really low. It is only 1/4th the Appendix G. baseline PTAC/PTHP fan power, which has been criticized as too low in another [neverending] thread.
Could there be an extra zero in there? (No, not the one on the end.)

Thanks,
Bill
