Structure and Visible Elements

  • Widget header with:
  • Widget title (e.g. “Company Overview”)
  • Subtitle for contextual classification (e.g. “Data source comparison”)
  • Icons for selecting or displaying the visualization type
  • Optional additional icon for CO₂ context
  • Time filter dropdown (e.g. “This month”)
  • Action icons:
    • Play
    • Change order (up/down)
    • Fullscreen
    • Three-dot menu
  • Visualization area:
  • Sankey diagram with a horizontal flow from left to right
  • Left level:
    • Top-level organizational unit (e.g. company or site)
  • Middle level:
    • Subordinate units (e.g. buildings, departments)
  • Right level:
    • Further subdivisions (e.g. floors, assets, production lines)
  • Flow bands between levels:
    • Varying widths to represent relative shares
    • Color-coded by target or source structure
  • Labels directly attached to the nodes at each level
  • Clear visual assignment of energy flows between hierarchy levels
  • Legend and context area:
  • Color legend for assigning the displayed elements
  • Positioned on the right-hand side of the widget
  • Control area below the diagram:
  • Selection of the displayed metric (e.g. Energy)
  • Unit selection (e.g. kilowatt-hours (kWh))
  • Display of the active top-level data source:
    • Color indicator
    • Label
    • Toggle to enable or disable
    • Three-dot menu

Typical Use Cases in Utility Metering and Energy Management

  • Transparent visualization of energy flows across multiple hierarchy levels
  • Analysis of energy consumption distribution from the overall organization down to individual areas or assets
  • Identification of energy-intensive sub-areas within a company
  • Support for structural energy transparency in complex sites
  • Basis for management decisions when prioritizing efficiency measures
  • Visualization of energy distribution for reporting, audits, and internal communication
  • Rapid understanding of relationships between organizational units and their energy demand
