Excerpt from Wikipedia

The House of Sustainability (German:Haus der Nachhaltigkeit) is a project run by the Rhineland-Palatinate Ministry for the Environment and Consumer Protection. The house is in the hamlet of Johanniskreuz in the German municipality of Trippstadt in the middle of the Palatinate Forest within the Palatine Forest-North Vosges Biosphere Reserve. The purpose of the house is to illustrate the concept of sustainability, especially to its adult visitors. The House of Sustainability is part of the Rhineland-Palatinate Efficiency Network (Effizienz-Netz Rheinland-Pfalz) or EffNet, which aims to deliver better resource efficiency.
