We help architects, builders, and property owners identify and prevent moisture problems, air leakage, and building envelope failures through expert consulting and hands-on training.
Experts in building science thermography, consulting, and training.
Scott Wood, president of Scott Wood Associates, LLC, is an expert in Investigations of and Training in building science and infrared thermography for pre and post-design, construction, air barrier, condition monitoring, restoration, and water intrusion. Scott has performed investigations on hundreds of buildings, discovering defects as well as providing corrective recommendations to prevent heat loss, air infiltration, and moisture intrusion.
Scott Wood Associates provides building science consulting, building envelope testing, and professional training services for architects, engineers, and construction teams. Our work focuses on identifying and preventing moisture intrusion, air leakage, and building performance issues through expert diagnostics and hands-on education.

Our air barrier consulting services focus on identifying air leakage pathways, verifying system performance, and improving overall building efficiency. We work with teams during design, construction, and post-construction phases to ensure proper installation, testing, and long-term performance of air barrier systems to prevent energy loss and moisture-related issues.
Design Review: Air, Moisture, & Thermal Barrier Systems
Technical Assistance: Advisory services for Architects & General Contractors
Air Barrier Quality Control: Installation monitoring & verification
Leakage Detection: Pressurization & Smoke Testing to identify air pathways
Performance Verification: ASTM/ISO standard testing
Our work combines real-world building science consulting with hands-on training. We don’t just identify problems—we teach teams how to prevent them. From building envelope consulting and air barrier testing to certified thermography courses, we help professionals improve performance and reduce risk across every phase of construction.
Our condition monitoring services focus on identifying performance issues in building systems and components using non-invasive inspection techniques. We help detect early signs of failure, improve system reliability, and support long-term maintenance planning to prevent costly disruptions and damage.
