Sankey Diagrams

Contents

  • Example

Sankey diagrams can be used to visualize the breakdown of money / electriciy. You have a big base value like the energy used by an average single German in December 2017. Then you build big clusters:

  • Transportation
  • Household
  • Other

and you might be able to split household up again:

  • Heating
  • Refrigerator
  • Computer(s)
  • Other

The online tool [sankeymatic.comhttp://sankeymatic.com/build/) can build quite nice Sankey diagrams with a simple interface.
