Berghotel Malta in Austria has launched a showcase exhibition on energy generation and consumption.

The full-time exhibition has been created at the eco-hotel with a view to educating consumers about the various eco-issues facing the world.

One floor of the multi-level exhibition is dedicated to human power generation. Featuring various pieces of fitness equipment, including the Freedom Climber from Revolutionary Products, the idea is to demonstrate how much energy is generated by each piece of equipment when it's used for training, and how this compares to the energy used by normal household appliances.

In the exhibition, the Freedom Climber - a non-powered rotating climbing wall - features a digital display showing how many calories and watts are generated by human power when someone is training on the device.

Designed by Asutrian architects Ronacher, the Berghotel Malta was launched by Austrian energy provider Verbund AG earlier this year.
