Abstract
Moisture excess and its associated problems can have significant implications on the structural integrity and energy efficiency of buildings but also affect the health of occupant. Turkey faces unique challenges due to its diverse climate conditions, increase on severe weather events, and the historical characteristics of buildings. This document presents the results of a systematic review, which aimed to examine moisture-related issues reported by Turkish scholars or in the Turkish buildings context, focusing on common problems associated factors, and knowledge gaps. Recommendations for future research include interdisciplinary investigations, consideration of cultural and social factors, exploration of occupant discomfort, development of region-specific strategies, integration of moisture management with energy efficiency, preservation of cultural heritage, and assessment of building materials and systems. Further research is certainly needed in Turkey to tackle issues related to moisture excess and its associated problems. Research in the area will play a vital role in fostering healthier and more sustainable built environments.
