As long as the required clearance to combustibles is maintained, the most desirable and beneficial location for an appliance is in the center of a building, thereby allowing the most efficient use of the heat created. The location of windows, doors and the traffic flow in the room where the appliance is to be located should be considered. If possible, you should choose a location where the vent will pass through the house without cutting a floor or roof joist.
