Sustainable construction initiatives in Turkey

Overview

Saint-Gobain launched its Sustainable Construction Talks platform in Istanbul, Turkey, bringing together architects, engineers, academics, and policymakers. The event focused on the construction sector’s transition toward resilient urban environments, specifically addressing the dual challenges of the climate crisis and earthquake risks.

Murat Savcı, CEO of Saint-Gobain Turkey and President of İMSAD, stated that in a country facing significant earthquake risks, building safe and durable structures is an “unpostponable necessity” rather than a choice. Discussions included panels on earthquake and climate resilience involving experts from Istanbul Technical University and the Turkey Earthquake Foundation.

In addition to structural resilience, the discussions touched upon residential maintenance and indoor air quality. Experts noted that managing condensation, moisture, and mold is essential for both living comfort and long-term building integrity, emphasizing that proper ventilation is necessary to address humidity imbalances.
