Corrections Policy

When we get something wrong, we say so. This page explains how we handle factual corrections to published content on FractionalBAS.com.

How Corrections Work

Accuracy matters on a site that building owners and facilities managers use to make real decisions. When a factual error appears in our content, we correct it as quickly as possible and document the change.

Our correction process:

• We do not quietly edit errors. All corrections to substantive factual claims are noted at the bottom of the corrected article, with a brief description of what changed and the date it was corrected.
• We update the “last reviewed” date when an article is revised, so readers know the content reflects our current understanding.
• Typographical and formatting errors are corrected without notation, as these do not affect the accuracy of substantive claims.
• Outdated statistics are updated when the underlying source data has changed, with a note indicating the previous figure and the updated source.

We do not remove content or correct errors retroactively without acknowledgment. If a correction significantly changes the meaning or conclusion of an article, we note this prominently at the top of the page.

How to Report an Error

If you believe content on this site contains a factual error, outdated information, or a misattributed source, please use the contact page to let us know. Helpful submissions include:

• The URL of the article containing the error
• The specific claim you believe is incorrect
• A link to a primary source (research paper, standards document, government report) that supports the correction

We review every correction submission. We may not be able to respond individually to each one, but all credible corrections are investigated and addressed.

How We Assess Accuracy

Our editorial standards describe the source hierarchy we use when evaluating claims. In cases where sources conflict, we default to the most recent peer-reviewed research or government agency guidance and note the disagreement in the article.

Building codes, energy standards, and indoor air quality thresholds change over time. We treat content accuracy as an ongoing obligation, not a one-time task at publication.
