Evenin' All.
So I stumbled on the following link the other day, and thought I would share with everyone here.
Looks like the state's energy efficiency group (NYSERDA, or New York State Energy Research and Development Association) will soon be announcing some incentives for those of us who are residents of the Empire state. First glance says that its only going to be pellet boilers to start (probably because the fuel is a "known" value), and you have to have storage tanks installed (no converted propane tanks allowed). Cordwood will follow soon, Im sure, as Econoburn has been involved with some of the testing/process.

The bigger value I found was this link to the Hydronics Training Slide Deck. NYSERDA is sponsoring a class to teach how to design for these types of systems, and lots of the diagrams/techniques look awfully familiar (or they will to anyone that hangs out here enough). But very good info for someone who is just starting out in trying to design a system.
