13 31 Exhibition grounds (EXPO) A facility for international trades in various fields and also the national General exhibition in ten years periods.

13 31 National library – an urban icon Library is a symbol of national culture, landmark in the city, icon.

It also offers environmental education programs for organized groups (school children) and individuals. And it uses the organic waste from maintaining public parks as fertilizer (after composting).

The biogas plant can use it for producing biogas as a medium for producing heat and electricity. The project will combine these two facilities – biogas production, storage and heat and electricity co-generation. The location in big city – Prague also opens educational potential of such project.
