Title
Standard Classification for Serviceability of an Office Facility for Protection of Occupant Assets
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Apr 15, 1995
Scope:
This classification covers pairs of scales for classifying an aspect
of the serviceability of an
office facility, that is, the capability of an office facility to meet
certain possible
requirements to protect occupant assets.
Each pair of scales, shown in Figs. 1-8, printed side by side on a
page, are for classifying one
topic of serviceability within that aspect of serviceability. Each
paragraph in an Occupant
Requirement Scale (see Figs. 1-8) summarizes one level of
serviceability on that topic that
occupants might require. The matching entry in the Facility Rating
Scale (see Figs. 1-8) is a
translation of the requirement into a description of certain features
of a facility that, taken in
combination, indicate that the facility is likely to meet that level
of required serviceability.
The entries in the Facility Rating Scale (see Figs. 1-8) are
indicative and not comprehensive. They
are for quick scanning, to estimate approximately, rapidly, and
economically, how well an office
facility is likely to meet the needs of one or another type of
occupant group over time. The
entries are not for measuring, knowing, and evaluating how an office
facility is performing.
This classification can be used to estimate the level of
serviceability of an existing facility. It
can also be used to estimate the serviceability of a facility that has
been planned but not yet
built, such as one for which single-line drawings and outline
specifications have been prepared.
This classification indicates what would cause a facility to be rated
at a certain level of
serviceability, but it does not state how to conduct a serviceability
rating nor how to assign a
serviceability score. That information is found in Practice E 1334.
The scales in this
classification are complementary to and compatible with Practice E
1334. Each requires the other.
