Generators higher up makes sense, but 17 stories high? I suppose real-estate concerns limit where you can put them though.

In this case, I think you are correct. Need lots of exhaust so have to be on the roof. One police plaza just tore the side of their building off to make room for generator exhaust. It's a warzone in lower manhattan right now.

Wow, that is pretty nuts. Did they install temporary generators, or did they run into unanticipated ventilation issues with existing generators?
