Does anyone have any resources for estimating escalator energy use, or for typical energy consumption for escalators?

All I have are resources for lift energy use from GreenStar and NABERS here in Australia. NABERS uses a default of 8 W/m2, and GreenStar has a detailed calculation methodology based on number of tryps, time of trip, speed, etc.

I would expect the escalator energy use to be more simple, since its typically always running during occupied hours, and runs at a constant speed. It would just have a fully loaded vs partially loaded vs unloaded energy use to consider, as well as run-time.
