Abstract (EN): The phenomena of transport in porous media arises in many diverse fields of science and engineering, ranging from agricultural, biomedical, building, ceramic, chemical, and petroleum engineering to food and soil science. Several authors provide an extensive description of the problems involving porous media. For building engineering, obtaining a good understanding of moisture transport in building envelopes is becoming one of the most important tasks. In the last few decades, many studies investigating moisture transport in building envelopes have been published, which have helped to improve overall building envelope design. This work presents a brief review of these studies.
