Under the Energy Star Partner Program there is a listing for Commercial Coffee Brewers V1.0 as of 7/2016 - however when you go to the Find Products there is NO listing for Commercial Coffee Brewers. Is this to say there are none that have yet met the Energy Star Requirements OR that it is not yet in effect therefore any Commercial Coffee Brewers do not have to be included in the calculation?
Also, in the Credit Form it is asking for Rated Power (W) in watts. For the non-electrically inclined - what is the calculation for equipment that doesn't readily offer the Rated Power in watts?
Any help on this most convoluted of credits is appreciated... there has got to be a better way to document this information.

Energy Star has a list of products that they are working on but have not yet made it into the program with rated products. Sounds like coffee brewers are in that category.
Rated power in watts can easily be determined - V x A = W for single phase equipment with a power factor of 1 (any resistance equipment would have this power factor.
Rated power can be highly misleading and should not be used for calculating energy use. This issue was discussed below (September 2015) but I have not seen a resolution.
Anyone else have direct experience with the rated power issue?
