Thank you for asking me that question. I do think the language is perhaps a little bit too vague. I would suggest perhaps striking those two words, “including those”, so that it is only focused on buildings for housing livestock. I don't believe that residential and shop buildings on farms need to have an exemption, because we know already how to heat those buildings more efficiently with the passive house standards for residential homes. I turned my gas off in 2008 and retrofitted my home many years ago. I reduced the energy by 83%.
It's possible now. We need to incentivize farmers to make those changes. Removing the pricing, though, would actually be a step in the wrong direction for buildings other than just the livestock handling facilities. Striking those two words to tighten up the language would be a good amendment.
