Johnson Controls (NYSE:JCI) introduced an Absorption Chiller Reference Design Guide that shows data center operators how to convert waste heat from on-site power generation into productive cooling. The blueprint targets the 57% of energy typically lost as waste heat to reduce cooling-related electric demand by up to 44% and free more power for AI workloads.
According to Johnson Controls, in a modeled 1GW AI Factory these efficiency gains can support up to 97MW of additional AI computing capacity without increasing on-site generation, creating the potential for up to $18 billion in additional revenue over the facility’s life.
