1、Designation: E 1666 95a (Reapproved 2005)An American National StandardStandard Classification forServiceability of an Office Facility for Work Outside NormalHours or Conditions1, 2This standard is issued under the fixed designation E 1666; the number immediately following the designation indicates t
2、he 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 (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This classification covers pairs of scales for c
3、lassifyingan aspect of the serviceability of an office facility, that is, thecapability of an office facility to meet certain possible require-ments to be able to do normal office tasks outside scheduledhours.1.2 Within that aspect of serviceability, each pair of scales,shown in Figs. 1-4, are for c
4、lassifying 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 a descrip
5、tion 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 approximately,
6、 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 ofserviceabilit
7、y 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 rated at a cer
8、tain level of serviceability, but does not statehow to conduct a serviceability rating nor how to assign aserviceability score. That information is found in PracticeE 1334. The scales in this classification are complimentary toand compatible with Practice E 1334. Each requires the other.2. Reference

20、present.4. Significance and Use4.1 Each Facility Rating Scale (see Figs. 1-4) 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 level of any other buildingor facility.4.2 This
21、 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 classification can be used to estimate the amount
22、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 its present use.4.4.2 Serviceability (potent
23、ial) 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 Use of this classification does not result in buildingevaluation or diagnosis. Building evaluation or diagnosisgenerally requires a special expertise in
24、 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 serviceability of facilities thatare not building constru
25、ctions, 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.
