Hi Eddy, if the equipment is Energy Star eligible and not in one of the excluded categories (HVAC, lighting, and building envelope), then you should include it in the calculation. I did a quick search and did not find this type of system in the Energy Star database as eligible: http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=products.pr_find_es_products. If you believe the product is eligible but can't find it, I suggest calling Energy Star Hotline to confirm.

Hi Eddy,
I am trying to determine the same. I have not found any specific language in the "Computer" Energy Star Program Requirements which seems to either confirm or deny the eligibility of a POS in the standard Computer category. Given its unique purpose and features which make it very different than a typical computer, I am inclined to believe that they are not eligible. Please let us know if you learn anything else about them through the Hotline.
