Empowering Customers with Proven Results in Data Centre Excellence
Johnson Controls has successfully enhanced operational efficiency and sustainability for major data centre clients across the Asia-Pacific region. For one hyperscale data centre provider in Sydney, Australia, Johnson Controls implemented its OpenBlue platform to optimize HVAC performance, integrate third-party systems, and track energy consumption through AI-powered recommendations. Over an eight-month period, the provider achieved more than $70,000 in cost savings and saved over 1 million kWh of energy—four times the predicted goal. Additionally, advanced digital monitoring identified high-priority maintenance needs, further reducing operational risks and enhancing overall system reliability. The latest generation of smart building software, like Johnson Controls OpenBlue, can optimize the operation of a chilled water system serving a data centre every minute of every day and provide only the cooling needed. With advanced optimization, data centres can see a reduction in annual energy use associated with cooling of 5 to 15%.
In another project for a large co-location provider in Japan, Johnson Controls delivered a flexible solution combining a SCADA-based building management system (BMS) with an electric power management system (EPMS). This large-scale data centre spans six floors, with an IT capacity of 50MW and a total area of 28,600 square meters. Johnson Controls' approach ensured that the data centre met global standards while adapting to on-the-ground challenges, such as the transition from air cooling to liquid cooling during construction.
Leading the Conversation: Industry Insights and Leadership at Data Centre World Asia 2024
Johnson Controls will have a significant presence at Data Centre World 2024, with leadership participating in keynotes and panel discussions. They will share insights on topics like sustainable data centre infrastructure, smart building innovations, and the role of integrated solution and approach in improving operational efficiency.
