1、Designation: E1660 95a (Reapproved 2012)An American National StandardStandard Classification forServiceability of an Office Facility for Support for OfficeWork1, 2This standard is issued under the fixed designation E1660; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal
2、 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.1. Scope1.1 This classification covers pairs of scales for classifyingan aspect
3、 of the serviceability of an office facility, that is, thecapability of an office facility to meet certain possible require-ments for performance to support typical office work.1.2 Within that aspect of serviceability, each pair of scales,shown in Fig. 1 through Fig. 6, are for classifying one topic
4、 ofserviceability. Each paragraph in an Occupant RequirementScale (see Fig. 1 through Fig. 6) summarizes one level ofserviceability on that topic, which occupants might require.The matching entry in the Facility Rating Scale (see Fig. 1through Fig. 6) is a translation of the requirement into adescri
5、ption of certain features of a facility which, taken incombination, indicate that the facility is likely to meet thatlevel of required serviceability.1.3 The entries in the Facility Rating Scale (see Fig. 1through Fig. 6) are indicative and not comprehensive. They arefor quick scanning to estimate a
6、pproximately, quickly, andeconomically, how well an office facility is likely to meet theneeds of one or another type of occupant group over time. Theentries are not for measuring, knowing, or evaluating how anoffice facility is performing.1.4 This classification can be used to estimate the level of
7、serviceability of an existing facility. It can also be used toestimate the serviceability of a facility that has been plannedbut not yet built, such as one for which single-line drawingsand outline specifications have been prepared.1.5 This classification indicates what would cause a facilityto be r
8、ated at a certain level of serviceability but does not statehow to conduct a serviceability rating nor how to assign aserviceability score. That information is found in PracticeE1334. The scales in this classification are complimentary toand compatible with Practice E1334. Each requires the other.2.

Significance and Use4.1 Each Facility Rating Scale (see Fig. 1 through Fig. 6)inthis classification provides a means to estimate the level ofserviceab
22、ility of a building or facility for one topic of service-ability and to compare that level against the level of any otherbuilding or facility.4.2 This classification can be used for comparing how welldifferent buildings or facilities meet a particular requirementfor serviceability. It is applicable
23、despite differences such aslocation, structure, mechanical systems, age, and buildingshape.4.3 This classification can be used to estimate the amount ofvariance of serviceability from target or from requirement, fora single office facility, or within a group of office facilities.4.4 This classificat
24、ion can be used to estimate the following:4.4.1 Serviceability of an existing facility for uses otherthan its present use.4.4.2 Serviceability (potential) of a facility that has beenplanned but not yet built.4.4.3 Serviceability (potential) of a facility for which re-modeling has been planned.4.5 Us
25、e of this classification does not result in buildingevaluation or diagnosis. Building evaluation or diagnosisgenerally requires a special expertise in building engineering ortechnology and the use of instruments, tools, or measurements.4.6 This classification applies only to facilities that arebuild
26、ing constructions, or parts thereof. (While this classifica-tion may be useful in rating the serviceability of facilities thatare not building constructions, such facilities are outside thescope of this classification.)4.7 This classification is not intended for, and is not suitablefor, use for regu
27、latory purposes, nor for fire hazard assessmentnor for fire risk assessment.5.
