1、Designation: E1669 95a (Reapproved 2012)An American National StandardStandard Classification forServiceability of an Office Facility for Location, Access andWayfinding1, 2This standard is issued under the fixed designation E1669; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of
2、original 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 contains pairs of scales for classify-i
3、ng an aspect of the serviceability of an office facility, that is,the capability of an office facility to meet certain possiblerequirements for locating the building and finding the wayinside the building.1.2 Within that aspect of serviceability, each pair of scales,shown in Figs. 1-6, are for class
4、ifying 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
5、 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. 1-6)are indicative and not comprehensive. They are for quickscanning to estimate approximately, qui
6、ckly, 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
7、 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 certain
8、 level of serviceability but does not statehow to conduct a serviceability rating nor how to assign aserviceability score. That information is found in PracticeE2334. The scales in this classification are complimentary toand compatible with Practice E2334. Each requires the other.2. Referenced Docum

18、2.2 walking distancethe distance that most staff wouldconsider reasonable to walk to or from a public transit stop orshops, which is 500 m. This assumes a climate that providesreasonable conditions for walking, summer and winter, andterrain that is reasonably flat. Lacking this, the distance may ber
19、educed to as little as 250 m in extreme conditions.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
20、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
21、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
22、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 re-modeling has been planned.4.5 Use of this classification does not result in buildingevaluation or diagnosis. Building evaluation or diagnos
23、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 serviceability
24、 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.
