1、Designation: E1670 95a (Reapproved 2012)An American National StandardStandard Classification forServiceability of an Office Facility for Management ofOperations and Maintenance1, 2This standard is issued under the fixed designation E1670; the number immediately following the designation indicates th
2、e 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 () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This classification covers pairs of scales for cla
3、ssifyingan aspect of the serviceability of an office facility, that is, thecapability of an office facility to meet certain possible require-ments for operations and maintenance.1.2 Within that aspect of serviceability, each pair of scales,shown in Figs. 1-4, are for classifying one topic of service
4、abil-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 description of certain features of a f
5、acilitywhich, 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 and rating a facility and not for evaluating ordiagnosing
6、 it.1.4 This classification can be used to estimate the level ofserviceability 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
7、This classification indicates what would cause a facilityto be rated 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
8、toand compatible with Practice E1334. Each requires the other.2.

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 bu
17、ilding 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 particular requirementfor serviceability. It is applicable despite differe
18、nces such aslocation, structure, mechanical systems, age, and buildingshape.4.3 This classification can be used to estimate the following:4.3.1 Serviceability of an existing facility for uses otherthan its present use.4.3.2 Serviceability (potential) of a facility that has beenplanned but not yet bu
19、ilt.4.3.3 Serviceability (potential) of a facility for which re-modeling has been planned.4.4 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 inst
20、ruments, tools, or measurements.4.5 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 c
21、lassification.)4.6 This classification is not intended for, and is not suitablefor, use for regulatory purposes, nor for fire hazard assessmentnor for fire risk assessment.5. Basis of Classification5.1 The scales in Figs. 1-4 contain the basis for classifica-tion.5.2 Instructions for the use of this
