This paper is devoted to the modelling of a temperature field in nonsaturated porous media in the absence of phase change. We establish the energy equation at the macroscopic level. from a description at the pore level by using the homogenisation method of multiple-scale asymptotic expansions. Different macroscopic models are obtained depending on the values of the local Peclet number and the local Fourier number. An example of the application of the different model catalogue is presented which concerns the modelling of the hot pressing of a paper web.
