1、Designation: E1661 95a (Reapproved 2018) An American National StandardStandard Classification forServiceability of an Office Facility for Meetings and GroupEffectiveness1,2This standard is issued under the fixed designation E1661; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year o
2、foriginal 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 classifying
3、an aspect of the serviceability of an office facility, that is, thecapability of an office facility to meet certain possible require-ments to enable work groups or project groups to functioneffectively and productively.1.2 Within that aspect of serviceability, each pair of scales,shown in Figs. 1-4,
4、 are for classifying one topic of serviceabil-ity. Each paragraph in an Occupant Requirement Scale (seeFigs. 1-4) summarizes one level of serviceability on that topic,which occupants might require. The matching entry in theFacility Rating Scale (see Figs. 1-4) is a translation of therequirement into
5、 a description of certain features of a facilitywhich, taken in combination, indicate that the facility is likelyto meet that level of required serviceability.1.3 The entries in the Facility Rating Scale (see Figs. 1-4)are indicative and not comprehensive. They are for quickscanning to estimate appr
6、oximately, quickly, and economically,how well an office facility is likely to meet the needs of one oranother type of occupant group over time. The entries are notfor measuring, knowing, or evaluating how an office facility isperforming.1.4 This classification can be used to estimate the level ofser
7、viceability 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 rate
8、d 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.1.6 T
9、he values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to inch-pound units that are provided for informa-tion only and are not considered standard.1.7 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recogn

Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 facilitya physical setting used to serve a specificpurpose. E6313.1.1.1 Discu
21、ssionA facility may be within a building, awhole building, or a building with its site and surroundingenvironment; or it may be a construction that is not a building.The term encompasses both the physical object and its use.3.1.2 facility serviceabilitythe capability of a facility toperform the func
22、tion(s) for which it is designed, used, orrequired to be used. E6313.1.2.1 DiscussionThe scope of this performance is of thefacility as a system, including its subsystems, components andmaterials and their interactions, such as acoustical,hydrothermal, air purity, and economic; and of the relativeim
23、portance of each performance requirement.3.1.3 offcea place, such as a room, suite, or building, inwhich business, clerical or professional activities areconducted. E6313.1.4 For standard definitions of additional terms applicableto this classification, see Terminology E631.3.2 Definitions of Terms
24、Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 workgrouppeople who work closely together toachieve a defined task, project, or objective, which is oftenbased in a single workroom.3.2.1.1 DiscussionThe size of a workgroup typicallyranges from four to twelve people. Duration of the project,task, or objective may ran
25、ge from weeks to months, or even afew years. Members of a workgroup need to be in closecontact, often face-to-face or sharing use of documents,displays, or other resources, (for example, in a workroom orproject room) even for those individuals whose daily or hourlycontact with other members of the s
26、ame workgroup is bycomputer network or electronic mail.3.2.2 workplacethe part of usable area intended for aspecific function, type of work, or workgroup or project team.3.2.2.1 DiscussionA workplace is identified with thename of an overall function, or of the group for which it isintended. A workpl
27、ace includes workstations and may includeworkroom(s).3.2.3 workrooma room for a specific function, such as thegroup activities of a specific workgroup or project team.3.2.3.1 DiscussionA workroom may include worksta-tion(s).3.2.4 workstationin an open-plan or a shared office, thepart of usable area
28、intended as the workplace of an individual;or, the place where a specific function(s) is carried out withina workplace.3.2.4.1 DiscussionWorkstations within an open-planworkplace are not separated from each other by floor-to-ceilingwalls, for example, a workstation for computer work and aworkstation
29、 for desk-work and reference to documents are bothoften found within the workplace of a single individual. (Notethat in facility planning and management, the term is notlimited to a type of computer used in the workplace.)4. Significance and Use4.1 Each Facility Rating Scale (see Figs. 1-4) in thisc
30、lassification provides a means to estimate the level of service-ability of a building or facility for one topic of serviceabilityand to compare that level against the level of any other buildingor facility.4.2 This classification can be used for comparing how welldifferent buildings or facilities me
31、et a particular requirementfor serviceability. It is applicable 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 facil
32、ity, or within a group of office facilities.4.4 This classification 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 (potent
33、ial) of a facility for which aremodeling has been planned.4.5 Use 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.
34、4.6 This classification applies only to facilities that arebuilding 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 classifi
35、cation is not intended for, and is not suitablefor, use for regulatory purposes, nor for fire hazard assessmentnor for fire risk assessment.5.
