Generators should be installed with either an isolated foundation or as standalone units, complete with comprehensive anti-vibration measures.

Efficient smoke management is essential, ensuring that it does not cause any disturbances in the surrounding area.

The installation priority for generators should be in the following order: basement, rooftop, ground floor, and front or back side of the building. However, its imperative to ensure that no inconvenience is caused to the public.

In markets, malls, and high-rise buildings, these guidelines become even more critical.

Owners of generators bear the responsibility of both maintaining their gensets and preventing any unacceptable levels of air or noise pollution. Adhering to these dos and donts is imperative to ensure proper maintenance, and it comes with the added benefit of significantly extending the generators lifespan.
