Criteria
Institution purchases EPEAT registered products for desktop and notebook/laptop computers, displays, thin clients, tablets/slates, televisions and imaging equipment (copiers, digital duplicators, facsimile machines, mailing machines, multifunction devices, printers and scanners).
This credit does not include servers, smartphones, or specialized equipment for which no EPEAT certified products are available.
Applicability
This credit applies to all institutions.
Scoring
Institutions earn the maximum of 1 point available for this credit for purchasing exclusively EPEAT Gold computers, tablets/slates, televisions and imaging equipment. Incremental points are awarded based on the percentage of purchased products that are EPEAT registered at each level. For example, an institution that purchased 50 percent EPEAT Gold and 50 percent non-certified products would earn 0.5 points (half of the points available).
