Description

1.1 This classification covers pairs of scales (see Figs. 1-8) for classifying an aspect of the serviceability of an office facility, that is, the capability of an office facility to meet certain 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 Scale summarizes one level of serviceability on that topic, which occupants might require. The matching entry in the facility rating scale is a translation of the requirement into a description of certain features of a facility which, taken in combination, indicate that the facility is likely to meet that level of required serviceability.

1.3 The entries in the Facility Rating Scale (see Figs. 1-8) are indicative and not comprehensive. They are for quick scanning, to estimate approximately, quickly, 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, or evaluating how an office facility is performing.

1.4 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.

1.5 This classification indicates what would cause a facility to be rated at a certain level of serviceability, but does not state how to conduct a serviceability rating nor how to assign a serviceability score. That information is found in Practice E1334 . The scales in Figs. 1-8 are complimentary to and compatible with Practice E1334 . Each requires the other.

TABLE 1 Anticipated Remaining Service Life ^A

^A The anticipated remaining service life on the items listed in this table should be on file, likely in an asset management plan for the facility. Otherwise, rating on this aspect of serviceability requires expert judgement on each item, and cannot be completed within a normal half-day site visit. If information is not available, then omit this item from the rating, and note that on the rating form.

^B Do not add pro rata counts for any remaining life that is estimated to be less than the threshold years given in the legend. The count in this table is not a sliding scale, for example, give all points or no points.
