Johnson Controls Recognized by Fortune for Innovation in Data Center Cooling

Johnson has been named to Fortune’s 2025 Change the World list for its breakthrough innovations in data center cooling. This year’s recognition highlights the YORK® YVAM Air-Cooled Magnetic Bearing Chiller, a solution engineered specifically for hyperscale and AI-intensive data centers. The YVAM chiller’s market-leading capabilities reduce power consumption, consume zero on-site water and operate at low noise levels, demonstrating how advanced technology can drive sustainability and deliver meaningful societal benefits.

Data center cooling systems are critical for maintaining safe operating temperatures for high-performance chips, yet they can account for more than 30% of a facility’s total energy. To address rising power demands and reduce daily water usage—which can reach millions of gallons—modern data centers are increasingly adopting energy- and water-efficient cooling technologies..
