This Sankey diagram is simplified and its dimensions do not depend on the flows values.

Gains solaires = Solar input Gains utiles = useful inputs Besoins thermiques nets = net thermical needs Deperditions = losses Pertes techniques = technical losses This is quite a sympathic diagram but I don't think it is strict: - green label "gains utiles" looks like the sum of the inputs - salmon label "Besoins Thermiques net" looks like losses minus inputs Sankey diagrams should be used massively as a preferential way of modelization for each and every flow in our surrounding world. To non-French speakers :
Chaleur métabolique = metabolic heat input
Gains des appareils = devices heat input (everything that use electricity: micro-wave, TV, computer etc…)
Gains solaires = Solar input
Gains utiles = useful inputs
Besoins thermiques nets = net thermical needs
Deperditions = losses
Pertes techniques = technical losses

This is quite a sympathic diagram but I don’t think it is strict:
- green label “gains utiles” looks like the sum of the inputs
- salmon label “Besoins Thermiques net” looks like losses minus inputs

Sankey diagrams should be used massively as a preferential way of modelization for each and every flow in our surrounding world.
