Most of the larger sites with very large gensets, including all of Verizon's and AT&T"s LATA switching sites have generators indoors. It sounds like you better put the exhaust and intake pretty high on the building. I think most with transfer switches, exercise and such are 7kw to 10kw.
I would think that Ecogen would work here too and they likely have an indoor adapter kit.
