Predicted Energy Consumption Diagram

Conveying how a building consumes energy is very important to understand how to reduce energy consumption. This Sankey Diagram, I hope helps to illustrate that visually.

Hello Frank,
Thank you for your comments. I am intending to add more projects to my site to create a database. If you have a project in the Northeast that you would like to see Energy Diagrams on, feel free to pass relevant information via my site - no need to disclose project name and such. This exercise is just to help other understand energy! http://visualizegreen.com
Thanks
Prem

Great visualization tool. I can imagine that this case could be set against options from merely code compliant to implementation of high efficiency and more ambitious renewable systems. I'd very much like to see how the ratio of blue and red would shift for a more temperate climate like we have in the Northeast.
