Does audio visual equipment need to be included into the appliances requirements including projectors, speakers, led display, interactive displays, etc?

If it is included in the list of Energy Star rated appliances then it must be included. See http://www.energystar.gov/certified-products/certified-products?c=products.pr_find_es_products

How about Lab equipment like microscopes and hot plates?

Same answer as before - if it is rated by Energy Star it must be included. I do not think either one is rated by Energy Star.

What if there is some lab specialty equipment that is not clear if it would be part of the Energy Star list or not? Like Explosion Proof Freezer, Explosion Proof Refrigerator, Autoclave, Canopy Hood for Autoclave, Lab Glassware Washers. Thanks

I do not think the Energy Star addresses any of the items you mention.
