48% of Israelis: Environmentally friendly homes important

However, only 16% know what this means.
Environmental awareness is rising in Israel, even as many Israelis have no idea what it means, according to a survey made recently.

Civil engineering has in recent years harnessed environmentalism in the development, planning, and construction of projects, such as building on prefabricated recycled construction material, use of water saving and recycling systems, soil preservation, the removal of contaminants, use of solar, wind, and hydro energy, and the use of quiet transportation

Experts in the field predict that green construction will become the popular standard within five years
