1、Designation:E170195(Reapproved 2012)An American National StandardStandard Classification forServiceability of an Office Facility for Manageability1,2This standard is issued under the fixed designation E1701;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in
2、 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(see Figs.1-8)for classifying an aspect of the
3、serviceability of an officefacility,that is,the capability of an office facility to meetcertain possible requirements for manageability.1.2 Within that aspect of serviceability,each pair of scales(see Figs.1-8)are for classifying one topic of serviceability.Each paragraph in an Occupant Requirement
4、Scale summarizesone level of serviceability on that topic,which occupants mightrequire.The matching entry in the facility rating scale is atranslation of the requirement into a description of certainfeatures of a facility which,taken in combination,indicate thatthe facility is likely to meet that le
5、vel of required serviceability.1.3 The entries in the Facility Rating Scale(see Figs.1-8)are indicative and not comprehensive.They are for quickscanning,toestimateapproximately,quickly,andeconomically,how well an office facility is likely to meet theneeds of one or another type of occupant group,ove
6、r time.Theentries are not for measuring,knowing,or evaluating how anoffice facility is performing.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,
7、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 level of serviceability,but does not statehow to conduct a serviceability rating nor how to assign aserviceability score.That
