Winter Committee Meeting

The WABO Washington State Energy Code – Plans Examiner Program (WSEC-PEP) is a certification program for which individuals meeting the requirements of the program, and successfully passing a written exam which does include energy code plan review competency, can become certified by WABO to perform Commercial and/or Residential Washington State Energy Code plan reviews. This is a voluntary registration program developed cooperatively by representatives from the association and around the state of Washington.

WSEC-PEP creates a register of qualified plans examiners that Building Officials may permit to conduct the relevant energy code plan reviews of building permit applications with their jurisdictions, and that they may do so with the confidence that the individual reviewers are certified by WABO. This provides Building Departments with the ability to meet their enforcement obligations when these obligations exceed what is practical for both budget and the expertise of the respective Building Department.

The Washington Association of Building Officials (WABO) is seeking a qualified technical consultant for WABO’s Certification & Registration program which oversees the Special Inspection, Fabrication and Weld Programs.  We have distributed the request to individuals/companies in related fields in search of an individual that does not have a conflict of interest or financial interest with WABO agencies or facilities.  If you know an individual in the field (perhaps retired) that would be a potential fit, we hope that you will let them know about this opportunity.  The RFP below will detail the scope, requirements and evaluation criteria.

The RFP will remain open until filled.  Please submit proposals via email to Tara Jenkins, WABO Executive Director, [email protected] (opens in a new tab).

Members from around the state took time from their busy schedule to learn, share, and connect at the Holiday Inn by the River in Richland for the 2026 Summer Business Meeting. First Timers who attended were able to network with their colleagues from around Washington.
