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. "Our
integrated approach, combining world-class products, expert
support, and customized service programs, enables our customers to
achieve their uptime and speed to deployment requirements while
also improving performance, lowering operational costs, and meeting
decarbonization goals."
According to ABI Research, Johnson
Controls' customers have commended the "one-stop" integrated
approach catering for the entire lifecycle of their buildings —
across thermal management, building automation, fire protection,
physical security, energy efficiency, and digitally enabled
connected service offerings that seamlessly work together to
deliver intelligent, high-performing data center
operations.

firm ABI Research provides an in-depth and unbiased examination of
