The calculations are based on the rated power of each appliance or piece of equipment.  So a single large power-using appliance, like a refrigerator, may have a higher rated power than dozens of computer monitors. Investigate if those large appliances are Energy Star-labeled, especially if they are to be purchased new for the project, to increase the project’s percentage of rated power that is Energy Star-labeled.
