The kinetic and potential energies for the damped wave equation
$ \begin{equation} u''+2Bu'+A^2u = 0 \;\;\;\;\;\;({\rm DWE})\end{equation} $
are defined by
$ K(t) = \Vert u'(t)\Vert^2,\, P(t) = \Vert Au(t)\Vert^2, $
where
$ A,B $
 are suitable commuting selfadjoint operators. Asymptotic equipartition of energy means
$\begin{equation} \lim\limits_{t\to\infty} \frac{K(t)}{P(t)} = 1 \;\;\;\;\;\;({\rm AEE})\end{equation}$
for all (finite energy) non-zero solutions of (DWE). The main result of this paper is the proof of a result analogous to (AEE) for a nonautonomous version of (DWE).
Keywords: Equipartition of energy, nonautonomous systems, asymptotics, damped wave equations.
