1. A method for simulating a production environment, comprising:

  • employing a data processor to execute the following instructions;

    provisioning discrete energy consumption data relating to a component of the production environment, wherein the component is a subset of the production environment;

    simulating the component, wherein an input or output variable of the simulation includes at least the discrete energy consumption data relating to the component;

    decomposing the simulated component into constituent elements;

    associating a portion of the discrete energy consumption data relating to the component to each constituent element; and

    varying resolution of the component by decomposing or reassembling the simulated component, and summing or separating associated portions of the discrete energy consumption data relating to the component.
