How to Customize
Edit Nodes and Flows
Add, rename, or remove energy sources and end-use sectors. Adjust flow values to reflect your actual data — regional, national, or organizational.
Update Colors and Labels
Change node colors to match your brand or standard energy conventions. Toggle labels and flow values on or off to control chart density.
Export and Share
Download your finished energy flow Sankey as a high-quality PNG or SVG, or get an embed code to add it directly to your website or report.
Key Benefits
- Instantly communicates complex multi-step energy flows at a glance
- No design or coding skills needed — just edit and export
- Built-in losses node ensures a complete, accurate energy balance view
- Works for any scale: building, city, country, or global energy systems
Pro Tips
- Use the 'Losses and Waste' node to show system efficiency — the wider that flow, the more improvement potential you can highlight.
- Sort your source nodes top-to-bottom by magnitude to make the dominant energy source immediately obvious.
- Switch the color scheme to 'Flow Gradient' for a striking visual effect that emphasizes the direction of energy movement.
