The heat and moisture coupling model is often used to calculate the heat and moisture flux of building envelopes. To facilitate practical application of the model, and considering that the liquid water diffusion coefficient is easier to measure, a thermal moisture coupling model for porous building materials is established based on the liquid water diffusion coefficient, with temperature and relative humidity as driving potentials. The experimental results are compared with experimental data and the HAMSTAD standard examples to verify the accuracy of the model. In addition, four transfer coefficients for heat and humidity control equation are proposed to reveal the influence of temperature and humidity on them. The results show that the deviation between the temperature and humidity simulation results and the measured values is within 15% in the experimental verification, and the results are basically consistent with those of HAMSTAD cases, which verifies the effectiveness of the established model. All transfer coefficients are related to temperature and humidity, and in high-humidity environments, the transfer coefficients increase significantly with temperature. This study provides a mathematical model for the thermal and moisture coupling calculation of enclosure structure.
