I've tried telecommuting from home with mixed results. What worked best for me was working mornings from home, and afternoons in the office. That way I got a block of uninterrupted time to concentrate on specific tasks, and face time with people I needed to see. This mode provided no energy savings, but it was only 3 miles to work. The kind of intangible "buzz" happening at on-site work locations would be a challenge to recreate in a telecommuting environment. People need to be plugged into the "collective hive mind", so to speak. The sort of thing where you're hard at work writing some code, and you overhear two colleagues in the next cubicle baffled about some obscure software bug, and you solved the same problem yesterday, so you pop in and discuss it with them.
