Add the rated power of all equipment and the rated power of Energy Star labeled equipment for your project to your equipment list. The rated power is usually imprinted on the equipment (in watts or kilowatts, i.e., kW) or you can use the standard values in the LEED Reference Guide, EAc1.4 Table 2 for equipment and appliances listed there.

Your list has to include any and all equipment that will be used in the space after project completion—not just items purchased as part of the project. Include existing (old) equipment, newly purchased equipment, and equipment the occupant plans to purcha

First identify which appliances and equipment are eligible for an Energy Star rating in your project. Check the Energy Star website for up-to-date listings of products and appliances that are available as Energy Star-labeled and create a project-specific list of these items. At minimum, the equipment list will include office equipment such as computers, fax machines, printers, scanners, multi-function devices, and monitors, as well as appliances such as refrigerators, dishwashers, washers and dryers, etc.
