A project of mine will be installing 70" interactive touch-screen wall mounted displays and tabletop (literally a screen with table legs) displays. The specified equipment is not ENERGY STAR, but I am wondering if these even qualify to achieve ENERGY STAR since I havent been able to find any similar equipment that is rated. Does anyone have experience/suggestion on whether or not these newer technologies are applicable? Thanks!

The EnergyStar website lists the types of products they rate. I would check there.

I had checked ENERGY STAR prior to posting, but it didn't clear things up. The only info on touch screen they mentioned stated: "Although displays with touch screen technology are included under the scope of products and would be eligible for qualification if they meet the program requirements, EPA has not explicitly named them in the Included Products as many would automatically be included based on features that would qualify them as displays other than touch screen technology."
So according to the EPA, they could be included but aren't necessarily. I'm not sure how a GBCI reviewer would interpret this...
