The Create Baseline Building measure should handle this for you, but here are the coefficients it uses, which come from page 3.221 (251) of the PNNL 90.1-2010 PRM Reference Manual.

when 'Constant Flow'
  coeff_a = 0.0
  coeff_b = 1.0
  coeff_c = 0.0
  coeff_d = 0.0

  coeff_b = 3.2485
  coeff_c = -4.7443

The Create Baseline Building measure should will handle this for you, but here are which use the coefficients it uses, which below. These come from page 3.221 (251) of the PNNL 90.1-2010 PRM Performance Rating Method Reference Manual. (and probably from COMNET and Title24 references too).

Since the project is using the performance path you don't need to follow the "prescriptive" requirements of subsection 5, just the mandatory requirements of subsection 4.

G1.2 Performance Rating. This performance rating method requires conformance with the following provisions: All requirements of Sections 5.4, 6.4, 7.4, 8.4, 9.4, and 10.4 are met. These sections contain the mandatory provisions of the standard and are prerequisites for this rating method. The improved performance of the proposed building design is calculated in accordance with provisions of this appendix using the following formula:
