1、Designation:E166995a(Reapproved 2012)An American National StandardStandard Classification forServiceability of an Office Facility for Location,Access andWayfinding1,2This standard is issued under the fixed designation E1669;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforigin
2、al 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 contains pairs of scales for classify-ing an aspect
3、of the serviceability of an office facility,that is,the capability of an office facility to meet certain possiblerequirements for locating the building and finding the wayinside the building.1.2 Within that aspect of serviceability,each pair of scales,shown in Figs.1-6,are for classifying one topic
4、of serviceabil-ity.Each paragraph in an Occupant Requirement Scale(seeFigs.1-6)summarizes one level of serviceability on that topic,which occupants might require.The matching entry in theFacility Rating Scale(see Figs.1-6)is a translation of therequirement into a description of certain features of a
5、 facilitywhich,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.1-6)are indicative and not comprehensive.They are for quickscanning to estimate approximately,quickly,and economically,how well
6、an office facility is likely to meet the needs of one oranother type of occupant group over time.The entries are notfor measuring,knowing,or evaluating how an office facility isperforming.1.4 This classification can be used to estimate the level ofserviceability of an existing facility.It can also b
7、e 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 certain level of serviceability but does not
8、 statehow to conduct a serviceability rating nor how to assign aserviceability score.That information is found in PracticeE2334.The scales in this classification are complimentary toand compatible with Practice E2334.Each requires the other.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:3E631 Terminology
