@Fatima Please re-tag your question with 'energyplus' and 'electric-baseboards' instead of your user name.

@Fatima. Use the tags as keywords for the question, e.g., "energyplus" and "electric-baseboard" in this case. Other users subscribe to specific tags so this question will get routed to people who subscribe to "energyplus".

Yes EnergyPlus can model an electric baseboard. Use the object "ZoneHVAC:Baseboard:RadiantConvective:Electric".
