Hi BKSK, We've done several projects with AV equipment. Per the Energy Star programming document for AV, the display elements are the focus of the eligible equipment, i.e., the monitors and TVs. And of course any CPUs that are running things. Explicity excluded are projectors, battery powered portables, video conferencing, wireless microphones, and whole house audio or video and media servers.

Just a brief addition to Michelle's note- BKSK be sure the AV consultant/vendor is aware that the ENERGY STAR evaluation (and specs to include ENERGY STAR whenever possible) applies to the following in addition to displays (TV screens): Home-Theater-in-a-Box Systems Soundbars MP3 speaker docks Audio Amplifiers AV receivers Shelf systems Blu-ray Disc players DVD players
