Big Green: pioneers of green building--who are they?

[Jesse Thompson]

My short list of Residential Pioneers (it's New England / cold climate  
biased):

Marc Rosenbaum: http://www.energysmiths.com/
Mechanical engineer, low energy guru, tireless cold climate energy  
advocate.

Building Science Corporation, Betsy Pettit & Joe Lstiburek: http://www.buildingscienceconsulting.com/about/who/default.htm
Affordable green housing, great technical lecturers, leaders in  
durable buildings.

Katrin Klingenberg, E-co Lab @ U of Illinois : http://www.e-colab.org/ecolab/Contact.html
http://www.passivehouse.us/passiveHouse/PHIUSHome.html
Chief proselytizer for the German Passivhaus program in the US, has  
really turned the American "buy a bunch of gadgets and bolt them on  
the roof" mentality on its head for us.

Bruce Coldham, Coldham & Hartman Architects:  http://www.coldhamandhartman.com/
Western Mass architect, lots of co-housing, green from the beginning.
