1、Designation: E1679 95 (Reapproved 2012)An American National StandardStandard Practice forSetting the Requirements for the Serviceability of a Buildingor Building-Related Facility1, 2This standard is issued under the fixed designation E1679; the number immediately following the designation indicates
2、the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONMost organizations and work groups have only a f
3、ew generic types of functions, such as generalpurpose office functions, or office functions requiring special security provisions, receiving manyvisitors, or having a mix of office and “dry” laboratory functions. For each type of function, facilitiesare required to have a different mix of functional
4、 capabilities to support the activities of those who use,own, or manage that function.This is a definitive procedure to (1) identify and record any variations from the generic profile ofrequirements for a functional type of activity, and (2) present the profile of required serviceabilitylevels for a
5、 specific occupant group.For each topic of serviceability, the user of this practice employs a classification scale called a“requirement scale” to set the level of serviceability that is required. Each requirement scale containsseveral descriptions of required serviceability for that topic, classifi
6、ed in a range from low to high, forexample, from Level 1 to Level 9.Each such scale is used like a multiple choice questionnaire to select the required level ofserviceability. Overall required serviceability is displayed as a profile of required levels (that is, notas a single number) and may be pre
7、sented as a bar chart.When comparing the requirement profile prepared by one organization with that by anotherorganization, it is essential that both use the same set of requirement scales. Organizations may usean ASTM standard set of scales, they may create their own, or they may adapt ASTM standar

35、guage of occupants or owners; and a statementin technical performance language describing the combinationof features that meet that requirement. Each statement is atranslation of the other. Taken together, several related topicstypically comprise one aspect of serviceability.3.2 Descriptions of Term

37、typical functions and operations.3.2.1.1 DiscussionThe information is typically presentedin the following ways: a text profile describing the typicaloccupant organization for this functional type of facility; aprofile of required levels of serviceability, illustrated as a set ofbar charts; and a num
38、eric profile of occupant space andquantity requirements.3.2.2 numeric profile, nan occupants space and quantityrequirements, displayed in spreadsheet or table format.4. Summary of Practice4.1 This practice is summarized in Fig. 1, which provides aflowchart for setting the levels of serviceability re
39、quired by anoccupant group or organization.4.2 The user of this practice may choose among the follow-ing options for setting the levels of serviceability required:4.2.1 Use an ASTM standard set of classifications.4.2.2 Create a new set of classifications or adapt an existingset of serviceability req
40、uirement scales, with rules for adjust-ment, consistent with an organizations own internal standards.NOTE 1Serviceability requirement levels set with such internal stan-dards would not be directly comparable to requirements set using anASTM standard classification.4.2.3 Support the development of a
41、new standard classifi-cation through the ASTM voluntary consensus process.5. Significance and Use5.1 This practice can be applied to the requirements forserviceability of many functional occupant groups, providedthat an appropriate set of requirement classifications for eachtype has been established
42、.5.2 This practice can be used to ascertain the requirementsof a group or organization at the time when the group (1) needsto ascertain the serviceability of the facility it occupies; (2)iscontemplating a move and needs to assess the relative capa-bility of several existing facilities to perform as
43、required,before deciding to rent, lease, or buy; (3) needs to compare itsrequirements to the serviceability of a facility that is beingplanned, or is designed but is not yet built; (4) is planning toremodel or rehabilitate the space it occupies and needs toestablish the required level of serviceabil
44、ity that the remodeledor rehabilitated facility will have to meet.5.3 This practice is not affected by the complexity of therequirement for serviceability.5.4 This practice can be used by any individual withsufficient organizational, functional, and technical knowledgeto act as an informed facilitat
45、or. The individual charged withthe task of leading the process of establishing the serviceabilityrequirements of an occupant group or organization needs basicfacilitation and interviewing skills.5.5 This practice provides a means of setting typical re-quired serviceability levels for any serviceabil
46、ity topic, and ofcomparing the required serviceability levels for one occupantgroup or organization against levels set by others.FIG. 1 Flowchart for Setting a Profile of Serviceability Requirements (for a Building or Building-Related Facility)E1679 95 (2012)35.6 This practice provides a means for o
47、rganizations to set aprofile of requirements for serviceability for each generic typeof occupant group within that organization.5.6.1 This practice enables an organization to compare anoccupants profile to a generic profile rapidly.5.6.2 This practice provides a means for organizations toidentify an
48、d validate exceptional needs of their occupantsrapidly.5.6.3 This practice provides a means of comparing therequirement levels of various occupant groups within anorganization.5.7 This practice provides a method for comparing how wellan occupants requirements for serviceability match the capa-biliti
49、es of different buildings or facilities, despite differencessuch as location, structure, mechanical systems, age, andbuilding shape.5.8 This practice provides a framework that allows designprofessionals and facility managers to select the most cost-effective means of providing a facility that will best provide therequired levels of serviceability.5.9 This practice helps the occupants to understand howvarious serviceability requirements interact and impact on theoverall functionality of a building or building-related facilityand on its level of
