For data centres, where the space is leased out to clients to install their own servers and the management does not have control on server selection,can we exclude these servers from our energy star compliance calculation?

If this is within the CI space, then I don't see how you exclude that, no.

For data centers the installation of client servers will be spread over time as the DC matures. The suggestion that client servers should be included seems to suggest that certification would need to wait until the DC is fully utilized or such time that 50% compliance is met! The logic is similar to C&S whereby the base building meets LEED, and for LEED-CI only the scope within the clients control needs to comply.
