Participants who are expected to attend this training are researchers and academics with the following requirements : a. Minimum S2. b. Willing to participate in full training of Research Collaboration in energy use in building, passive design strategy, and Energy saving. Number of training participants is expected as many as 25 people. The actual number of participants is 35 people. The training is formatted to have a theory section and practice section. In the first day, participants learned about daylighting of building. Most of the training time focuses on the basic principles of the topics. In the afternoon, at the final session, the participants learn Daysim as a tools for daylight calculation. In the second day, participants got a lesson from building energy simulation expert, Dr, Ery Djunaedy. They learned about how simulation can help to reduce building energy. Before that, the participants were taught about builing science and materials. In the afternoon, they exposed to Openstudio and EnergyPlus software. In the final day, participants studied about parametric approach in computational design. In the final day, most of the training time is hands-on time, when all of participants tried to use Rhinoceros, Grasshopper, and Ladybug-Honeybee. The software are used to get an optimum building design in terms of its environmental impact.

After this training, participants have some basic knowledge about energy used in building especially for, lighting and cooling, as well as know strategies to reduce the energy consumption. Furhtermore, they also learned how to assess a building with calculation and computer simulation. However, for the computer simulation, they still need more learning and practicing. Moreover, the training also creates opportunity to collaborate between the participants. The commitee have been maintaining communication within the participants since the training, and will try to initiate some research ideas

The first challenge in this training is different background of the participants. The training moduls are common to architects and building engineers, but not so common to other fields. Thus, the trainer were assisted by 2 or 3 assistants to hel them in software and calculation practice. The second challenge is the participants' familiarity with computer. It somehow slows the pace of the training. This is solved by the trainer's assistants.

Participants said that the training is useful for them, and would help them develop their future research agenda. However, they felt overwhelmed by the amount of new information thay get from the training. Hence, if the content still the same, maybe the duration should be longer for the next training.

In order to maintain the knowledge from this training and make it beneficial, there should be research collaboration between participants in the related topics. Because the participants come from many different field of studies, there would be some possible research collaborations created from the event. Thus, a communication media is needed to keep the participants in touch and make the collaboration possible.

The test result indicates that participants' understanding of building enviornmental performance (lighting, comfort, energy consumption, and building simulation) is improved. At the pre-test, many participanst even did not answer some of the questions. However, for the post-test, almost all of the participants answer the whole questions. Moreover, they improvement is not only for the number of questions answered, but for tnumber of the right answer.
