Abstract
Systems, methods, and media for an energy usage simulator are provided. In some embodiments, systems for an energy usage simulator are provided, the systems comprising: at least one hardware processor that is configured to: perform computational fluid dynamics simulations on an environment based on a description of the environment; generate a heat recirculation matrix (HRM) based on the computational fluid dynamics simulations; generate a resource utilization matrix (RUM) based at least in part on the HRM and a power curve; generate a power consumption distribution vector based at least in part on the HRM and the RUM; and generate a thermal map of the environment based at least in part on the power consumption distribution vector.
