Modelling Underfloor Ventilation (UFAD) Systems

Hello,

I've searched and searched for an answer to my question, but I have not found anything related to this. I am using Sketchup 2016, Open Studio 1.11.0, and latest version of EnergyPlus The building I am modelling has underfloor ventilation systems (with supply diffusers) on the first, second, and third floor. When I am modelling the building shell and spaces, should I physically model the supply and return plenums associated with the Underfloor Ventilation System? Thanks in advance!
