clouded or otherwise highlighted changes can be found on the revised plans, have been submitted
to a Permit Coordinator. Reviews by other divisions, such as Planning, Engineering, or Fire, may
result in additional comments.

Washington stating that smoke detectors shall be installed on each floor, and in each
sleeping room, and outside of and in the vicinity of the sleeping rooms.
a.In addition, provide a carbon monoxide detector at each level.
3.The energy code section should specify that a 0.5 energy credit is required to satisfy WSEC
