Does anyone already submitted any information for this PC?
We are thinking about a spreadsheet just like EAc1.4 from LEED ID&C informing all equipments applied to the project, its rated power; as well it’s similar on the marked with its information too, so we can compare the chosen equipment with others.
Any other suggestions?

That would be a good start. The difficult part, after getting all of the data on the specified equipment, will be to determine if the selected equipment is in the 25th percentile for that class of equipment. In order to do so there needs to be an Energy Star or equivalent rating for medical equipment or you will have to gather comparable data on not only your equipment but any similar equipment offered by all competitors. As suggested in the credit language above you could perhaps seek the assistance of some kind of medical equipment research organization.
When this credit was proposed it was the opinion of the EA TAG that it could not be earned given the current data available on the subject. It is hoped that this pilot credit encourages project owners to ask energy use questions of their medical equipment suppliers and thus transfor the market. I would strongly suggest that you solicit the assistance of the medical equipment suppliers in getting the data you will need.
