In OpenStudio and EnergyPlus, you can model plenums explicitly. Just make a thermal zone for each plenum, don't add any loads to it, and make sure "Part of total floor area = No" so that it doesn't mess up the building summary info. You can also make these plenums supply/return plenums by hooking them up to an air loop. This video shows how to do all of this stuff.
