Not seeing this qualified in the Reference Guide, but hoping someone can verify this is still the same as in 2009 CI....the pre-req compliance (and elective credit points under Optimize Energy) is based only upon equipment/appliances purchased as part of the project, correct? Existing in place, or existing items relocated from another location are excluded from this evaluation, correct?

I think this is still the case. If you look at changes 2009 to v4 in the Reference Guide it says: Option 2. Prescriptive Compliance. The requirements of the 2009 prerequisite were adapted to become Option 2 in LEED v4. That tells me that this aspect of the compliance did not change or it would be listed.

I posted this same question, though under the credit rather than the prereq. I got a response from LEEDCoach on this topic, and thought I'd share here for clarity: The forms for these Prerequisite and Credit in LEED Online ask for equipment that was part of the scope of work and ask for a narrative to "Describe the ENERGY STAR eligible equipment installed in the project that was not included in the project scope of work, and confirm that this equipment was procured prior to the project." Hope that helps. I'm posting this in the credit forum under my question, too.
