Power over Ethernet (PoE) telephones.

You need to include all equipment in any category which has an Energy Star rating. An Energy Star rating for Voice over IP (VoIP) phones was introduced on October 1, 2014, and thus VoIP phones need to be included in the documentation of all projects registered after that date.

While there is considerable overlap between VoIP and PoE phones, the categories are not the same.

For what it's worth, the Cisco systems we've investigated thus far are NOT energy star compliant.

I was reviewing the LI for EAp2 this afternoon and saw a reference to LI 1044 (in LI 10400) which indicates that equipment purchased within 2 years of the introduction of the first Energy Star standard may be excluded if all such equipment is excluded consistently. This means that you are likely off the hook on the IP phones for now.
