1、Designation: E1694 95a (Reapproved 2012) An American National StandardStandard Classification forServiceability of an Office Facility for Special Facilities andTechnologies1,2This standard is issued under the fixed designation E1694; the number immediately following the designation indicates the yea

2、r oforiginal 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 classify

3、ingan aspect of the serviceability of an office facility, that is, thecapability of an office facility to meet certain possible require-ments for special facilities and technologies.1.2 Each pair of scales shown in Figs. 1-6 printed side-by-side on a page, are for classifying one topic of serviceabi

4、litywithin that aspect of serviceability. Each paragraph in anOccupant Requirement Scale (see Figs. 1-6) summarizes onelevel of serviceability on that topic that occupants mightrequire. The matching entry in the Facility Rating Scale (SeeFigs. 1-6) is a translation of the requirement into a descript

5、ionof certain features of a facility that, taken in combination,indicate that the facility is likely to meet that level of requiredserviceability.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, q

6、uickly, andeconomically, how well an office facility is likely to meet theneeds of one or another type of occupant group over time. Theentries are not for measuring, knowing, and evaluating how anoffice facility is performing.1.4 This classification can be used to estimate the level ofserviceability

7、 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 rated at a cert

8、ain level of serviceability, but it does notstate how to conduct a serviceability rating nor how to assigna serviceability score. That information is found in PracticeE1334. The scales in this classification are complementary toand compatible with Practice E1334. Each requires the other.2. Reference

Significance and Use4.1 Each Facility Rating Scale in this classification providesa means for estimating the level of serviceability of a buildingor facility for one t

20、opic of serviceability, and for comparingthat level against the level of any other building or facility.4.2 This classification can be used for comparing how welldifferent buildings or facilities meet a particular requirementfor serviceability. It is applicable despite differences such aslocation, s

21、tructure, mechanical systems, age, and buildingshape.4.3 This classification can be used to estimate the amount ofvariance of serviceability from target or from requirement, fora single office facility, or within a group of office facilities.FIG. 4 Scale A.13.4 for Satellite and Microwave LinksE1694

22、 95a (2012)54.4 This classification can be used to estimate the following:(1) serviceability of an existing facility for uses other than itspresent use; (2) the serviceability (potential) of a facility thathas been planned but not yet built; and (3) the serviceability(potential) of a facility for wh

23、ich a remodelling has beenplanned.FIG. 5 Scale A.13.5 for Mainframe Computer CenterE1694 95a (2012)64.5 The use of this classification does not result in buildingevaluation or diagnosis. Building evaluation or diagnosisgenerally requires special expertise in building engineering ortechnology and the

24、 use of instruments, tools, or measurements.FIG. 6 Scale A.13.6 for Telecommunications CenterE1694 95a (2012)74.6 This classification applies only to facilities that arebuilding constructions or parts thereof. (While this classifica-tion may be useful in rating the serviceability of facilities thata

25、re not building constructions, such facilities are outside thescope of this classification.)4.7 This classification is not intended for, and is not suitablefor, use for regulatory purposes, nor for fire hazard assessmentnor for fire risk assessment.5. Basis of Classification5.1 The scales shown in F

26、igs. 1-6 contain the basis forclassification.5.2 Instructions for the use of this classification are con-tained in Practices E1334 and E1679.6.
