Best locations for building mechanical equipment ?

In regards to various mechanical equipment locations such as condensers, boilers or any equipment you may have to serve a building and its site. Where is best location to place them.

For example if you were asked to place a mechanical equipment say a HVAC on a roof where would the best place be or if you were asked to place a boiler in a building or a condenser on the building site?

thank you,

Mechanical equipment on a roof should be placed close to the center to reduce trunk and other duct runs. The center is generally a good call for equipment, but some of it will require an exterior wall for fresh air intake or exhaust.
