Fan Power Inputs in OpenStudio

Hey all. Is there a way to input fan BHP, kW, or kW/CFM in OpenStudio/energyplus? When trying to update a fan the only fields i'm seeing are Fan Efficiency, Pressure Rise, and Motor Efficiency.

With Appendix G requiring us to calculate the total fan system kW it seems strange that OS/E+ wouldn't have an input to accept this value. Am I missing something?

Thanks, JO
