1、Designation:E169295a(Reapproved 2012)An American National StandardStandard Classification forServiceability of an Office Facility for Change and Churn byOccupants1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E1692;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal
2、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 classifyingan aspect of the
3、serviceability of an office facility,that is,thecapability of an office facility to meet certain possible require-ments to accommodate changes in working method,andfrequent relocations of staff,and realignment of workstations.1.2 Each pair of scales shown in Figs.1-5,printed side byside on a page,ar
4、e for classifying one topic of serviceabilitywithin that aspect of serviceability.Each paragraph in anOccupant Requirement Scale(see Figs.1-5)summarizes onelevel of serviceability on that topic that occupants mightrequire.The matching entry in the Facility Rating Scale(see)is a translation of the re
5、quirement into a description of certainfeatures of a facility that,taken in combination,indicate thatthe facility is likely to meet that level of required serviceability.1.3 The entries in the Facility Rating Scale(see Figs.1-5)are indicative and not comprehensive.They are for quickscanning,to estim
6、ate approximately,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
7、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 This classification indicates what would cause a facilityto be r
8、ated at a certain level of serviceability,but it does notstate how to conduct a serviceability rating or how to assign aserviceability score.That information is found in PracticeE1334.The scales in this classification are complementary toand compatible with Practice E1334.Each requires the other.2.R
