Since April 2023, the Swiss Museum of Transport in Lucerne has been presenting the "House of Energy" in the Interactive permanent exhibition "Experience Energy!"which promotes scientific, political and social dialog on the topic of energy. Since Friday, the "Sustainability Dialogue" area, which was created in part through the partnership with Sustainable Switzerland, has expanded this exhibition. It was developed jointly by Sustainable Switzerland and the Swiss Museum of Transport in collaboration with scientific partners.

At its heart is the "Emission Explorer", an interactive tool that visitors can use to determine their personal carbon footprint by means of questions and self-assessments. The Explorer was developed together with the "Energy Science for Tomorrow" (ES4T) initiative, in which ETH Zurich, EPFL Lausanne, the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI and Empa are involved. The experience is complemented by Sustainable Switzerland's interactive sustainability dialog, which provides tips for greater sustainability in everyday life and invites visitors to express their opinions on key issues relating to sustainable development. The dialog is rounded off with exciting and surprising facts on the five topics of mobility, flying, consumption, nutrition and living.
