It may be possible to model a greenhouse using EnergyPlus but I don't know if anyone has done so and compared it to the actual performance of a greenhouse. A greenhouse is an extreme example of solar loads, natural ventilation, high conductivity, high mass, and latent loading. EnergyPlus has models that can model each of those phenomena well but by combining them, it is possible that the model would not be very accurate.
