3、st organizations and work groups have only a few generic types of functions, such as generalpurpose office functions, or office functions requiring special security provisions because receivingmany visitors, or having a mix of office and “dry” laboratory functions, and so on. For each typicalor gene

4、ric type of function, facilities are required to have a different mix of functional capabilities tosupport the activities of those who use, own, or manage that function.This document is a definitive procedure to (1) ascertain the profile of required levels of functionality(functional support) for a

5、specific occupant group, (2) ascertain the profile of levels of serviceability(functional capability) that are provided in an existing facility, or called for in the design for a facility,and (3) compare what is provided to what is required.To ascertain the profile provided by a facility, or the pro

6、file of an organizations requirements, thispractice uses scales that look like multiple choice questionnaires for discrete topics related to buildingsand their use. One set of scales is for user functional requirements (demand) and a matching set ofscales is for building serviceability (supply).For

7、each topic of required functionality (demand), the user of this practice employs a classificationscale called a “requirement scale” to set the level required. Each requirement scale contains severaldescriptions of required functionality for that topic, classified in a range from low to high, for exa

8、mple,from Level 0 to Level 9. For each topic of serviceability provided (supply), the user of this practiceemploys a classification scale called a “rating scale” to ascertain the level of serviceability that isfound in the facility. Each rating scale contains several descriptions of serviceability p

9、rovision for thattopic, classified in a range from low to high, for example, from Level 0 to Level 9.Each such scale, demand or supply, is used like a multiple choice questionnaire to select the levelof functionality or of serviceability. Overall required functionality is displayed as a profile of l

10、evels(that is, not as a single number) and may be presented as a bar chart. Similarly, overall serviceabilityprovided may be presented as a bar chart. When the two bar charts are compared (gap analysis) thecloseness of functional fit of a facility for an organization is displayed.When comparing the

11、requirement profile prepared by one organization with that prepared byanother organization, it is essential that both use the same set of requirement scales. Organizationsmay use an ASTM standard set of scales; they may create their own; or they may adapt ASTMstandard classification scales for speci

12、alized, internal application. The organization forgoes thepossibility of external comparison in the latter two cases.This standard practice is an updated version of Practice E1679, to which has been added theprovisions of the companion standard, Practice E1334. A whole family of scales which comply

13、withthis version of Practice E1679, for use in North America, has been standardized by ASTM, under thejurisdiction of ASTM Subcommittee E06.25 on Whole Buildings and Facilities. A version in Frenchwas created by Public Works and Government Services Canada. A set of scales in French, adapted forways

14、of building and managing facilities in France was created by the French public entity CentreScientific et Technique du Btiment (CSTB). All the ASTM scales are included in ASTM Standardsfor Whole Building Functionality and Serviceability, ASTM stock number WBDG2009 or lateredition. After Practice E13

15、34 and Practice E1679 were standardized, a version of the practice asmodified for use in other countries was created as ISO 11863.Copyright ASTM International, 100 Barr Harbor Drive, PO Box C700, West Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959.
