Johnson Controls launched the Absorption Chiller Reference Design Guide, a blueprint to help data center operators convert waste heat from on-site power generation into productive cooling. The guide claims that in a 1GW-scale AI Factory, efficiency gains can unlock up to 97MW of additional AI computing capacity without increasing power generation and reduce cooling-related electric demand by up to 44%. Additional modeled benefits include achieving a PUE as low as 1.23 with zero on-site water use and reducing cooling system CO₂ emissions by up to 43%.
