Example - for a 3-bedroom, 2,000-sq.ft. home, with an exhaust-only ventilation strategy, and a target ventilation rate of 50 CFM you would need to install a 50 CFM fan with an adjustable-speed DC motor for continuous operation.
Quick Answer. Trenches were built during World War I to protect stalemated troops on both sides from artillery and rifle fire. Although the war began with rapid movement of the German army, when the Allied forces stopped the Germans, both sides dug trenches to help avoid losing territory they had gained.
There are several factors that control the depth of trenches. The most important control is the supply of sediment, which fills the trench so that there is no bathymetric expression. It is therefore not surprising that the deepest trenches (deeper than 8,000 m (26,000 ft)) are all nonaccretionary.
