Calling name.get on any ModelObject (or WorkspaceObject) will return a the object name as a string. With that, you can use the Ruby method include? to check if the name string contains another string, in your case 'Plenum'. So you can write:
if space.name.get.include? "Plenum"
#do stuff
end
As for external sources, Ruby has a built-in class for parsing .csv files. For word documents you'll have to get a specific gem.
