Yes. Depending on the building layout and the selected model, an ERV may be suitable for retrofit projects as well as new construction.
The feasibility of a retrofit depends on available installation space, the route for outdoor air and exhaust ducts, electrical access, and how air will be distributed to occupied rooms.
Where full ductwork is impractical, a compatible wall-mounted or other decentralized ventilation solution may be worth considering.
