Notwithstanding any law, rule, regulation or order to the contrary, the public service commission and the New York state energy research and development authority shall provide that the Green Bank program is made accessible for funding programs to assist residential, multi-family building owners, hospitals and commercial owners with installing upgrades to heating and cooling systems including conversions through the installation of a high efficiency boiler or furnace or replacement of a burner in a boiler that results in incremental emis- sions reductions and increased energy efficiency. Heating and cooling improvement programs established pursuant to this section shall be designed to increase efficiency by at least twenty percent or reduce fuel usage by at least twenty percent and lead to a significant reduction in carbon emissions as defined by the authority guidelines, developed after consultation with the department of environmental conservation, provided that such projects shall have a return on invest- ment of five years or less. The Green Bank shall seek to develop program guidelines that provide a level of support that is pro rata to the increase in efficiency, reduction of fuel use or reduction in emissions, such that enhancements that result in the greatest environmental bene- fits are provided a higher level of support. S 2. The funding streams for the Green Bank shall be made available for programs as described in section one of this act and may consist of monies derived from assessments on transmission and distribution compa- nies under direct oversight of the public service commission collected EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
