"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 Live Oak, CA
For projects in Live Oak (Sutter County), 5 Star Energy handles Title 24 consulting with a real understanding of the local climate: an orchard-belt valley town with hot inland summers.

Title 24 in Live Oak: Climate Zone 11
Live Oak sits in California Building Climate Zone 11, one of the hottest inland cooling-dominated zones in California. Climate Zone 11 carries some of the most demanding cooling requirements in the state — long stretches of 100-plus-degree summer heat plus meaningful winter heating — so Title 24 calculations put extra weight on attic insulation, radiant barriers, low-SHGC high-performance windows, correctly sized HVAC, and tight duct systems rather than a one-size-fits-all package. As Sutter 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you serve Live Oak, CA? Yes. 5 Star Energy provides Title 24 consulting throughout Live Oak and all of Sutter County. Reports and energy calculations can be completed remotely.
Why does the climate zone matter for my Live Oak Title 24 report? Live Oak is in Climate Zone 11. Climate Zone 11 carries some of the most demanding cooling requirements in the state — long stretches of 100-plus-degree summer heat plus meaningful winter heating — so Title 24 calculations put extra weight on attic insulation, radiant barriers, low-SHGC high-performance windows, correctly sized HVAC, and tight duct systems rather than a one-size-fits-all package. 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 Live Oak 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 Live Oak
Common questions from Live Oak 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.
