Not a definitive answer by any means ...
Haven't yet come across a single, comprehensive guide/manual on using OpenStudio/EnergyPlus for passive solar housing design/modelling. Guidance is pretty spread out online, e.g. ResearchGate papers, IBPSA papers (e.g. on Trombe walls). Search UMH for keywords like "passiv".
I suggest first getting really familiar with low-energy housing modelling (e.g. BEopt, other resources suggested here), before enabling more expert features like multizone airflow network modelling.
You'll also find guidance/features for applications that use OpenStudio and/or EnergyPlus as backengines, like ClimateStudio, LBT.
