Q. I am constructing a factory. The boiler house, with a height of about 50 feet, is on the southeast side. The factory floor, about 25 feet in height, is on the southwest side. Is it right? Does the southwest side need to be higher? The chimney also is towards the southeast side and it is about a 100 feet tall.
