FAQs about EAc1.4 :

Does my piece of equipment qualify for Energy Star? Is there an Energy Star label for my piece of equipment? Where can I find out more about Energy Star and how it relates to my equipment type?

There is not an Energy Star category for a very specific type of an appliance that fits within a broader appliance category. Can I exclude my product?

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.
