Section 2105 of this legislation, the section providing a tax deduction for construction of energy efficient commercial buildings, does not list the specific building components that will qualify the building. This is different from Section 2103, pertaining to energy efficient residential property, in which items contributing to building efficiency are listed in some detail.

I was wondering if the Senator from Montana could clarify for me the reasons behind the differences between these two sections.
