CASHING IN ON ENERGY-SENSITIVE DESIGN Imagine a future in which architects do well by doing good.

During the 1990s, many firms placed their billboards on the information highway by setting up a promotional web site. It might have included a portfolio of work, some high-sounding statements of design philosophy, perhaps a client list, and news of current projects.
