Code basis
Washington enforces the State Building Code statewide, based on the International Codes with state amendments, together with the Washington State Energy Code.

Energy code climate zones in Washington run roughly 4–6 on the 2021 IECC map. The zone for the project county sets insulation, glazing and equipment efficiency requirements.
Prevailing wage on public work
Washington has a state prevailing-wage law for public works. On covered public projects, labor is priced at the applicable wage determination rather than open-market rates, so tell us whether the job is public and which determination applies.
