Energy flows with alternative material types

How would I create custom material profiles? My goal is analyze temperatures dynamics for green building strategies such as adobe, earth bermed, underground, earthen roofs, etc. Being new to EnergyPlus and OpenStudio I believe I am asking for which product I will craft the custom materials in and where to go inside the tool to make the new material profiles.
