MILWAUKEE, 21 April 2026
— As energy, water and land constraints intensify across the data centre industry, Johnson Controls (NYSE: JCI), a global leader in energy efficiency, decarbonisation, thermal management and mission-critical building performance, is at the forefront of thermal management innovation, helping operators improve efficiency and unlock capacity for AI growth.
At Data Center World 2026, taking place on 20–23 April in Washington, DC, Johnson Controls will showcase its advanced technologies, investments and design strategies that help ease grid and water constraints and accelerate the operation of high-density, AI-driven environments.
Cooling efficiency as a foundation. Cooling accounts for approximately 30–40% of a data centre's total energy consumption, making thermal performance a key lever for reducing cooling energy use and lowering power usage effectiveness (PUE).
The International Energy Agency forecasts that global electricity demand from data centres could more than double by 2030, increasing pressure on cooling systems to manage higher and more variable loads.
