Can this fan be connected to a wallswitch?

Yes, of course it could be. In that case, both the wall switch and the onboard rotary switch would have to be turned on for the fan to run. You could leave the onboard switch in the ON position, then use the wall switch to control the fan. A simpler solution would be to buy the Broan Model 509 fan, which is the same unit m i n u s the built-in switch, intended to be used with a wall switch. It also costs around $10 less. Bottom line, the 509S has a built-in rotary switch and the 509 does not.Here is the manufacturer's specification sheet on the 509(S): http://www.centralvacuumstores.com/meta/pdfs/info/Broan+508-509-509S+Spec+Sheet.pdf and here is the installation instruction sheet: http://www.centralvacuumstores.com/meta/pdfs/info/Broan+508-509-509S+Install+Guide.pdfHope this helps.Terry

does this fan have a continuous duty motor

I can only comment on the Broan 509 and the specs on their site spec sheet say "Continuous Operation: No". https://www.broan.com/Bath-Vent-Fan/Utility-Fans/Through-Wall-Fans/509 Also, the speed controller cannot be used with Impedance protected fans, and yet Broan suggest it for the install.

How can we vary the speed of this fan to facilitate rates of air exhaust?

Yes it Can. After talking to a Broan rep he stated a speed control. I suggest this one. Bath Exhaust Fan Adjustable Speed Control Dial SC100W
