New York City clean heat policies were enacted to improve air quality, especially reducing exposure to black carbon, particulate matter and sulfur that are linked to environmental degradation and various health risks. This policy measure specifically called for the phase out of residual oil and adoption of cleaner burning fuel sources through boiler conversions in commercial and residential properties throughout the city. This paper describes the process of clean heat technology adoption within the innovative clean heat policy context demonstrating its thorough compliance and discussing implications for scalability in other urban settings.
纽约市出台清洁供热政策旨在改善空气质量，特别是减少接触与环境退化和各种健康风险相关的黑碳、颗粒物和硫。这项政策措施特别要求逐步淘汰残留油，并通过全市商业和住宅物业的锅炉改造采用更清洁的燃烧燃料源。本文描述了在创新的清洁供热政策背景下采用清洁供热技术的过程，展示了其全面合规情况，并讨论了在其他城市环境中的可扩展性影响。
