The bio-based materials have experienced in recent years a relevant evolution in construction and for many building applications. Despite the efforts to develop new solutions to achieve the objectives of numerical characterizations a few researches in this area have been carried out using a heterogeneous wood-cement composite. This study is based on a constructive approach using the finite volume method in order to generate a numerical model capable of reproducing;the equivalent transfer properties of a wood-cement composite. The challenge is to understand, design, and control this multiphase inhornogeneous structure and predict transfers and flows within the community in order to achieve an optimal functionality. Experimental measurements and microscopic characterization using X-ray microtomography were performed to compare and demonstrate the method validation. The comparative results demonstrate a less than 100% deviation between the measurements and the simulations of the equivalent thermal properties. Thus, thermal conductivity and permeability, under different medium configurations, were characterized. Therefore, it was observed that these properties depend strongly on the porosity and the pore distribution in the continuous phase. Moreover, these two parameters are highly dependent on cement percentages in the structure.
