"We are very pleased with the service, professionalism, and responsiveness of the staff at 5 Star Energy. We've experienced a range of very bad to very good subcontractors during our long-term new construction project in the Manton area, and 5 Star is in the range of very good. You can absolutely count on them for their advice, expertise, quick implementation when adjustments are needed to energy calcs, and fast scheduling of inspections. These guys are really good at what they do."

Title 24 Consultant in Crescent City, CA
For projects in Crescent City (Del Norte County), 5 Star Energy handles Title 24 consulting with a real understanding of the local climate: the far-north coast, among the wettest and coolest in California. Whether you are building a new home, adding on, or developing a commercial project at roughly 44 feet elevation, our HERS-certified team prepares energy reports that comply with the latest Title 24, Part 6 standards.
Title 24 in Crescent City: Climate Zone 1
Crescent City sits in California Building Climate Zone 1, a mild, heating-dominated marine coastal zone. Because summers stay cool and foggy, mechanical cooling is rarely needed here, so Title 24 compliance is driven by envelope tightness, wall and floor insulation, high-performance windows for heat retention, water-heating efficiency, and code-required mechanical ventilation (ASHRAE 62.2) to manage persistent coastal moisture rather than by air-conditioning performance. As Del Norte County’s local Title 24 and HERS provider, we size our energy calculations to these zone-specific loads rather than reusing a generic package from a different part of the state.

Do you serve Crescent City, CA? Yes. 5 Star Energy provides Title 24 consulting throughout Crescent City and all of Del Norte County. Reports and energy calculations can be completed remotely.
Why does the climate zone matter for my Crescent City Title 24 report? Crescent City is in Climate Zone 1. Because summers stay cool and foggy, mechanical cooling is rarely needed here, so Title 24 compliance is driven by envelope tightness, wall and floor insulation, high-performance windows for heat retention, water-heating efficiency, and code-required mechanical ventilation (ASHRAE 62.2) to manage persistent coastal moisture rather than by air-conditioning performance. A report built for the wrong zone can fail plan check or over- or under-build the home, so we calculate to the correct zone from the start.

What Clients in Crescent City Say
"5 Star was incredible. I got some permit review comments back that required some extensive energy studies. My engineering firm recommended 5 Star for these studies and they did not disappoint. Within 5 minutes of calling them, Adrian and I had a plan together, and within 24 hours I had the studies in my inbox. With how many delays I'm currently experiencing in the construction world, it's nice to have a company go above and beyond. Highly recommend!"
"5 Star Energy was great to work with and saved the client time and money with the Title 24 calculations and HERS testing. I look forward to working with them in the future and will be recommending them to others."
FAQ — 5 Star Energy in Crescent City
Common questions from Crescent City clients.
Title 24 is part of the California Building Standards Code that sets energy efficiency requirements for new construction and major renovations. If you’re building a new home, adding square footage, or making significant alterations to a building in California, you’ll need a Title 24 energy report to obtain your building permit. Contact us at (530) 275-3350 to find out if your project requires one.
The cost of a Title 24 energy report varies based on the size and complexity of your project. Residential reports typically start at a few hundred dollars, while larger commercial projects may cost more. Contact us at (530) 275-3350 for a free quote tailored to your specific project. We pride ourselves on competitive pricing with fast turnaround.
Most residential Title 24 reports are completed within 1-3 business days. Commercial projects may take longer depending on complexity. We pride ourselves on fast turnaround without sacrificing accuracy. Rush services are available for time-sensitive projects.
HERS (Home Energy Rating System) testing is field verification performed during and after construction to confirm that energy features were installed correctly. You typically need HERS testing when building a new home, replacing an HVAC system, or when your building department requires verification of energy compliance measures. Our certified HERS raters serve all of Northern California.
Title 24 is the energy calculation done before construction — it’s a paper analysis showing your building plans meet California’s energy code. HERS testing is the field verification done during and after construction to confirm the home was actually built according to those plans. Most projects require both: a Title 24 report for the building permit, and HERS testing for final inspection sign-off.
