Consider wave equations of the form
$\begin{align*}u''(t)+ A^2u(t)=0\end{align*}$
with $A$ an injective selfadjoint operator on a complex Hilbert space
$\mathcal{H}$
. The kinetic, potential, and total energies of a solution $u$ are
$\begin{align*}K(t)= \| u'(t)\|^2, P(t)= \|Au(t)\|^2, E(t) = K(t)+P(t).\end{align*}$
Finite energy solutions are those mild solutions for which
$E(t)$
 is finite. For such solutions
$E(t)= E(0)$
, that is, energy is conserved, and asymptotic equipartition of energy
$\begin{align*}\lim_{t \longrightarrow ± ∞}K(t) = \lim_{t \longrightarrow ± ∞}P(t) = \frac{E(0)}{2}\end{align*}$
holds for all finite energy mild solutions iff
$e^{itA}\longrightarrow 0$
 in the weak operator topology. In this paper we present the first extension of this result to the case where
$A$
 is time dependent.
Keywords: Equipartition of energy, nonautonomous system, asymptotics, wave equations.
