Katie, I'm not sure this will fly, given that "refurbished" is considered a sustainable attribute for furniture, not electronics, under the credit language. Also, could encouraging use of refurbished IT equipment encourage use of older, less-effiicient equipment?If you think you can overcome these concerns then maybe it's worth a shot. I would problably just document that the unit is refurbished from offsite, which is something the vendor should be able to provide documentation for. In any case, I don't think this would qualify under IOc1, since if it's going to be allowed, it's covered here. Unless you want to get more ambitious and do some kind of "comprehensive electronics impact reduction plan" that goes well beyond the idea of this credit.
