A couple things - you can 'load library' from any model file (at any location), which doesn't have to be a specific library OSM in the library directory. So if you want to create a master library of space types, schedules, etc that you've manually created or edited in previous models, you can easily load that model as a 'library' to copy the content into your master without having to duplicate the manual effort.
There's not currently a way to pull OSM data from the BCL Components list like there is with measures, at least not from within the application. You would likely need to download the OSMs (or IDFs, and import into an OSM), and then load them as a 'library'.
Regarding the DOE reference data, this measure will purge your model of orphaned space types and resources.
