In our project, we are relocating a lot of IT equipment from another office, some of which is a few years old. From previous comments I'm not sure if I need to include these in the calculation for this credit.
Very little of the equipment is on current Energy Star Prodcut list, but some of it is on older product lists from the time when it was purchased new - is there any way to account for this if I have to include this equipment in the calcualtion?

April 2010 CI Addenda: "Only new appliances and equipment purchased as part of the scope of work for the project need to be included in the credit for EA Prerequisite 2 and EA Credit 1.4."
If your project was registered after this date you are fine. I also think that this was in fact a clarification of the original requirements rather than a change, so would personally adopt the same approach even if my project was registered before then.

Good find Victoria, and I agree that it you could take this approach regardless of registration date.

On a related note, what if you wanted to include the equipment and appliances coming from an old office because (although it was more work) actually helped you get more points. What's our thought on if that's allowed?
The addenda reads: "needs to be included..."

Lauren, did you ever get an answer for your question about old equipment helping for more points? I have the same issue in one project. Anybody else has an idea?
