Johnson Controls Named Leading Thermal Management Provider for Data Centers by ABI Research
MILWAUKEE, Feb. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Johnson Controls (NYSE: JCI), the global leader for smart, healthy and sustainable buildings, has been named a top thermal management provider for data centers by ABI Research. The recognition highlights Johnson Controls' excellence in innovation and implementation, driven by its comprehensive product portfolio, global presence, and customer-centric approach to the data center thermal management industry. 'Johnson Controls has consistently exceeded market expectations for thermal management across all industries and is a leading player in mission-critical infrastructure, like data centers, where reliable, energy efficient and innovative building technologies are a game-changer,' said Rithika Thomas, sustainable technologies senior analyst at ABI Research. 'The company's comprehensive and extensive portfolio, combined with its ability to deliver end-to-end solutions from design, deployment and operational support, cement its position as a leader in the space. Its success in balancing operational efficiency, sustainability and scalability is truly noteworthy.' In thermal management, Johnson Controls offers a wide range of air-cooled and water-cooled chillers designed to address the unique needs of hyperscale and colocation data centers. Innovations like the YORK® YVAM chiller, which can reduce energy consumption by up to 40% in real-world conditions, are crucial when HVAC equipment can account for up to 40% of a data center's total electricity usage. The YVAM operates with zero water on-site and ultra-low GWP refrigerant and 1234ze, and uses Johnson Controls' proprietary magnetic-bearing technology, originally developed for naval applications. This ensures reliability, efficiency, and quiet operation at 65 dBA—equivalent to the noise level of background music at a restaurant. The YVAM also features Quick Start technology, enabling it to return to full load in just three minutes after a power interruption. 'Being recognized by ABI Research is a true honor, and it reflects our ongoing commitment to providing innovative, scalable, and consistent solutions that are tailored to individual customers and meet the ever-evolving needs of the data center industry,' said Johnson Controls President of Global Data Center Solutions Todd Grabowski.
