    "excerpt": "MILWAUKEE , July 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Johnson Controls (NYSE: JCI ), a global leader in thermal management, mission-critical building systems, energy efficiency and decarbonization, today launched its Absorption Chiller Reference Design Guide. The blueprint helps data center operators convert the 57% of energy typically lost as waste heat from on-site power generation into productive cooling, reducing cooling-related electric demand and allocating more power available for AI workloads. In a 1GW-scale AI Factory, those efficiency gains can support up to 97MW of additional AI computing capacity without increasing on-site power generation, creating the potential for up to $18 billion in additional revenue over the life of the facility, based on a typical U.S. AI Factory model. \"One of the biggest untapped opportunities in data centers is the heat they generate,\" said Austin Domenici, president, Global Data Center Solutions, Johnson Controls. \"Johnson Controls helps transform recovered heat into useful work through Combined Heat and Power and absorption cooling solutions, enabling AI Factories to scale more efficiently while reducing strain on the grid and delivering value to local communities.\" The reference design demonstrates how operators can convert cooling efficiency gains into additional AI computing capacity or reduce cooling system CO₂ emissions by up to 43%. It can...",
