1、Designation: E 1694 95a (Reapproved 2005)An American National StandardStandard Classification forServiceability of an Office Facility for Special Facilities andTechnologies1, 2This standard is issued under the fixed designation E 1694; 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 (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This classification covers pairs of scales for class
3、ifyingan aspect of the serviceability of an office facility, that is, thecapability of an office facility to meet certain possible require-ments for special facilities and technologies.1.2 Each pair of scales shown in Figs. 1-6 printed side-by-side on a page, are for classifying one topic of service
4、abilitywithin that aspect of serviceability. Each paragraph in anOccupant Requirement Scale (see Figs. 1-6) summarizes onelevel of serviceability on that topic that occupants mightrequire. The matching entry in the Facility Rating Scale (SeeFigs. 1-6) is a translation of the requirement into a descr
5、iptionof certain features of a facility that, taken in combination,indicate that the facility is likely to meet that level of requiredserviceability.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
6、, quickly, and economi-cally, how well an office facility is likely to meet the needs ofone or another type of occupant group over time. The entriesare not for measuring, knowing, and evaluating how an officefacility is performing.1.4 This classification can be used to estimate the level ofserviceab
7、ility 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
8、 certain level of serviceability, but it does notstate how to conduct a serviceability rating nor how to assigna serviceability score. That information is found in PracticeE 1334. The scales in this classification are complementary toand compatible with Practice E 1334. Each requires the other.2. Re
