To efficiently predict the dynamic moisture transfer response of building walls under complex moisture boundary conditions, a calculation method integrating Fourier transform and transfer function is proposed. This method avoids inverse Laplace transform and inverse Fourier transform, and can directly solve the vapor pressure and moisture flux at any position of the wall by utilizing the frequency response. The method is verified through analytical solutions, existing experiments, and a self-built experimental platform. The analytical results show that under sinusoidal and step boundaries, the maximum average relative errors of the internal vapor pressure simulation are 0.053% and 1.03%, respectively, and the surface moisture flux errors are 0.027% and 5.62%, respectively. Compared with experimental results from the literature, the average error of the internal relative humidity is less than 3%, and the average error of the mass change obtained by integrating the surface moisture flow is 0.0045 g. In the self-built experimental verification, the average error of the mass change obtained by integrating the surface moisture exchange is 0.13 g. The comparison of the simulation results with the analytical solutions and measured data indicates that this method can accurately capture the dynamic response characteristics of the wall under different moisture boundary conditions, demonstrating high accuracy and good applicability.
