Johnson Controls joins tropical data centre efficiency testing initiative
Building solutions firm Johnson Controls joined the Sustainable Tropical Data Centre Testbed 2 0 project in Singapore to test cooling infrastructure for artificial intelligence computing facilities in humid environments
Johnson Controls, a global leader in thermal management and energy efficiency, has joined the Sustainable Tropical Data Centre Testbed 2.0 (STDCT 2.0) hosted at the National University of Singapore's College of Design and Engineering. This initiative aims to evaluate next-generation AI and data centre technologies in a live tropical setting to enhance infrastructure designs for AI at scale with greater efficiency and lower resource consumption.
The partnership with JTC Corporation and industry allies seeks to transform Jurong Island into a living testbed for low-carbon and AI-ready infrastructure. High temperatures and humidity in tropical climates pose unique cooling challenges, emphasizing the need for efficient and reliable infrastructure. Johnson Controls' thermal management technologies, smart controls, engineering expertise, and operational experience will contribute to advancing infrastructure designs that enable AI growth responsibly.
The research from this programme will inform future data centre design across Singapore and other tropical markets.
