Sankey Diagram

What does this feature do?

The Sankey diagram shows the flow of materials throughout your project. The flow goes from life-cycle stage to the classifications into the resource types and or subtypes.

Sankey diagrams show by default three levels. You can adjust the rendering and add resource sub-types to the rendering. The classification will automatically apply the national classification, for example RICS, MasterFormat, and so on, as long as that classification is applied to the input data. The full data set for the Sankey diagram can also be downloaded in Excel format.

How do you use this feature?

Navigate to the 'Results' page of your project and you will see the Sankey Diagram above the LCA results section.

Step 1: Configure your chart. 

By default the chart will select the life-cycle stages, classifications and resource types. You can also select the resource sub-types, change the number of decimals and choose what you want to display.
