Modeling boiler fan in EnergyPlus

Is a boiler draft fan modeled via the Parasitic Electric Load field? If so, is there a way to define the load via a function? The Engineering Reference appears to imply a fixed determination of hourly boiler parasitic electric power (equal to parasitic electric load specified by the user (W) multiplied by the boiler operating part-load ratio).
