Keyboards, docking stations, mice, surge protectors - technically these are corded/battery powered items purchased during the performance period. They are not eligible for an Energy Star rating. Do we include these electronic accessories in our total purchase value or not?

Hi Martha, you should exclude products that are not eligible for the EnergyStar label from the credit calculations entirely. This is allowed because otherwise teams would be unfairly penalized by products where there is no compliant option available on the market.
