Bedford Modern School is a large public school run by the Harpur Trust in Bedford.Bedford Modern School swimming pool was originally built in the 1920s and refurbished in the 1980s. The old boilers and ventilation plant were worn out and needed to be replaced. The project included two new air handling units, three new boilers and a control panel including BMS system. The project was carried out in several separate phases in order that the disruption to the pool was kept to a minimum.
The air handling units include heat recovery and inverter controlled fans in an effort to reduce the running costs and to keep the pool hall comfortable. The latest phase of the pool plant replacement include changing the heating in the sports field changing rooms, and replacement of the large main swimming pool circulation pumps.
The modifications to the plant has brought considerable running cost savings and should save money for many years to come. 
The school is also modernizing its hot water system, the elderly and inefficient hot water distribution system is being replaced by local electric water heaters to reduce running costs.
