On the following day, representatives of the team led by Prof. Jan Tywoniak from the Faculty of Civil Engineering handed over the competition object to Bergische Universität Wuppertal represented by Prof. Karsten Voss as part of the commenced LivingLab, where seven other selected competition objects are located. Within the LivingLab, the local university will coordinate joint research activities for at least the next three years, with the possibility of extending them for further years.
More than one hundred and fifteen thousand visitors visited the exhibition with tours of the competition objects at the Solar Campus over three extended weekends in June. The tour of the Czech House was also of great interest. Expert interpretation in English and German was provided by team members.
During the Czech Day, a short lecture on the activities of the University Centre for Energy Efficient Buildings of CTU was given by its scientific director doc. Antonín Lupíšek; it was this centre that provided the student team with the necessary background and technical support for the implementation of the project. A selection of semester and diploma theses arranged as an exhibition on the topic of conversions of neglected industrial sites was brought to the event by the team of Prof. Tomáš Šenberger from the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Department of Architecture.
