Fan Motor Efficiency

I'm trying to make base and change cases for energy efficiency comparisons for HVAC optimization. One measure I plan to implement is premium efficiency motors on HVAC fans. The only thing I see that ties into this would come from the fan efficiency field. Can anyone explain what goes into the fan efficiency, and how I would be able to directly change the motor efficiency of the fan in Open Studio or energy plus?
