1、Designation: E1662 95a (Reapproved 2018) An American National StandardStandard Classification forServiceability of an Office Facility for Sound and VisualEnvironment1,2This standard is issued under the fixed designation E1662; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year ofori
2、ginal 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 a
3、spect of the serviceability of an office facility, that is, thecapability of an office facility to meet certain possible require-ments for suitable sound and visual conditions.1.2 Within that aspect of serviceability, each pair of scales,shown in Figs. 1-6, are for classifying one topic of serviceab
4、il-ity. Each paragraph in an Occupant Requirement Scale (seeFigs. 1-6) summarizes one level of serviceability on that topic,which occupants might require. The matching entry in theFacility Rating Scale (see Figs. 1-6) is a translation of therequirement into a description of certain features of a fac
5、ilitywhich, 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. 1-6)are indicative and not comprehensive. They are for quickscanning to estimate approximately, quickly, and economically,how we
6、ll 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 ofserviceability of an existing facility. It can
7、 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 rated at a certain level of serviceability but
8、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 The values stated in SI units are to be rega
9、rded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.7 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards, Guides and

21、re required, to prepare the facility for occupancy.4. Significance and Use4.1 Each Facility Rating Scale (see Figs. 1-6) in thisclassification 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 leve
22、l of any other buildingor facility.4.2 This classification can be used for comparing how welldifferent buildings or facilities meet a particular requirementfor serviceability. It is applicable despite differences such aslocation, structure, mechanical systems, age, and buildingshape.4.3 This classif
23、ication 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 classification can be used to estimate the following:4.4.1 Serviceability of an existing facility for uses otherthan i
24、ts 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 aremodeling has been planned.4.5 Use of this classification does not result in buildingevaluation or diagnosis. Building evaluation or diagnos
25、isgenerally 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 arebuilding constructions, or parts thereof. (While this classifica-tion may be useful in rating the serviceabilit
26、y 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 regulatory purposes, nor for fire hazard assessmentnor for fire risk assessment.5.
