Victoria, The rated Power in Table 2 is provided for your convenience but is not truly a comprehensive list. Using the rated power listed in Table 2, if all of your equipment can be found on it, is usually the easiest way to achieve credit. However, if you believe that your equipment differs significantly from the values found in Table 2, you're welcome to use the rated power on the ENERGY Star rating materials for your appliance. Paul

it there a way to look at this default table you speak of. I am trying to achieve certification with CI v2.0 and am a little confused with which value should use. For clarification sake, if all my equipment and appliances do not have a default value on this table then I should use their actual rated power? Other wise use their default rated power on the table?

Kelvin, The default table is in the Reference Guide. And yes, if your equipment isn't on the table, you should use the actual rated power.

Kelvin, Reviewers generally will not question if you use the default values, but if using actual rated power and providing the spec sheets to back them up is more advantageous for your project, then you can do so.
