We have an interior renovation of works in a datacentre aiming for LEED-CI certification. The project area is managed and owned by the same client. Within the project area, part of the computer racks shall be rent for tenant's equipment in the future and part of the racks belong to owner. Do tenant's equipment need to be Energy Star labeled? Would the credit includes only equipment under applicant's scope?
Or if tenant's equipment is not newly purchased but relocating from other data centres, could it be excluded from the rated power calculation?
Many thanks

Hi Anthea,
We have LEED-CI certification on a DC where the owner provides facility for others (tenants) to install equipment, a so-called colocation data center. No need to be ES compliant, so excluded. The consideration is whether the owner's equipment meets ES. If relocated it is not new, so no ES requirement, so also excluded.
