1、Designation: E1668 95a (Reapproved 2018) An American National StandardStandard Classification forServiceability of an Office Facility for Amenities to Attractand Retain Staff1,2This standard is issued under the fixed designation E1668; the number immediately following the designation indicates the y
2、ear 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.1. Scope1.1 This classification covers pairs of scales for classi
3、fyingan aspect of the serviceability of an office facility, that is, thecapability of an office facility to meet certain possible require-ments in support of recruiting and keeping quality employees.1.2 Within that aspect of serviceability, each pair of scales,shown in Figs. 1-6, are for classifying
4、 one topic of serviceabil-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 ce
5、rtain 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. 1-6)are indicative and not comprehensive. They are for quickscanning to estimate approximately, quickly,
6、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 ofserviceability of an ex
7、isting 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 certain level
8、 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 The values stated in
9、SI units are to be regarded asstandard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.7 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-iz

E6313.1.4 For standard definitions of additional terms applicableto this classification, see Terminology E631.4. Significance and Use4.1 Each Facility Rating Scale (see Figs. 1-6) in thisclassificati
21、on 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 meet a partic
22、ular 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 facility, or wit
23、hin 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 (potential) of a f
24、acility 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 building engineering ortechnology and the use of instruments, tools, or measurements.4.6 This cl
25、assification 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 classification is n
