3、serviceability of an officefacility,that is,the capability of an office facility to meetcertain possible requirements for structure and building enve-lope.1.2 Within that aspect of serviceability,each pair of scales(see Figs.1-6)are for classifying one topic of serviceability.Each paragraph in an Oc
