Modeling Fans for LEED

I have been modeling a building to submit it to LEED certification and I have some issues Regarding to how to set Correctly fan parameters for the baseline model . I am aware que ASHRAE 90.1 provides a table regarding to BASELINE FAN MOTOR POWER, but I am not find the relation between them and the values ​​found in OpenStudio to configurate the fans. In OpenStudio we have as a fan input The Following items:

FAN EFFICIENCY PRESSURE RISE MAXIMUM FLOW RATE MOTOR EFFICIENCY MOTOR IN AIRSTREM FRACTION

I would like to know which one of them I have to set, and where I can get the values ​​to set them correctly. I know, for instance, that TRACE 700 when is dealing with a BASELINE model of its own calculations. I do not need to set such parameters in there, only for the proposed model.
