<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hello All,<BR>
<BR>
I have made the Sankey Energy Diagram generator template available for free download at<BR>
<A HREF="http://visualizegreen.posterous.com/predicted-energy-consumption-template-downloa">http://visualizegreen.posterous.com/predicted-energy-consumption-template-downloa</A><BR>
<BR>
It makes it very easy to create these diagrams with input in excel. All you have to do is to make changes to the Excel Live Link (also part of the download) and then open the sankey template in e!Sankey to export the image. That simple!<BR>
<BR>
Feel free to shoot me an email if you have trouble downloading or if you have any other questions.<BR>
<BR>
Regards,<BR>
Prem<BR>

<BR>
Hello Everyone,<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
I have always wondered whether there is a better way - an exciting yet<BR>
simple - to communicate how a building consumes energy.<BR>
<BR>
Traditionally, engineers and architects use Pie charts and bar graphs -<BR>
they are boring. I ran into what is called a "sankey diagram" on a<BR>
magazine and it occurred to me why not employ this idea for a building's<BR>
energy consumption.<BR>
<BR>
Below is an example of how you can use a sankey diagram to communicate<BR>
how a building consumes energy - or at least how you think it will.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
I have dedicated a website for communicating sustainability stories at<BR>
<A HREF="http://www.visualizegreen.com">http://www.visualizegreen.com</A><BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
The reason I am sharing this with you - If you are like me trying to<BR>
educate owners, end users and other design members about how your energy<BR>
consumption predictions impact design, then you may need compelling<BR>
graphics to tell the story.<BR>
<BR>
I can help with creating a diagram for anyone who is interested - just<BR>
contact me with details through my site/blog.<BR>
<BR>

<BR>
Thanks<BR>
