50 Pembroke Court, located approximately 35 miles southeast of London, provides flexible open-plan office space with excellent connectivity to London stations and the Channel Ports. Following a comprehensive front-of-house refurbishment, the building required an upgrade to its AHUs to enhance the efficiency and performance of its HVAC system. The project aimed to ensure optimal air quality and comfort for its tenants, aligning with the modernised aesthetic and functionality of the newly refurbished front-of-house areas.
