Johnson Controls, the global leader in smart buildings, has been named to Fortune's 2025 Change the World list for its innovative data center cooling solution, the YORK YVAM Air-Cooled Magnetic Bearing Chiller. The chiller reduces power consumption, uses zero on-site water, and operates at low noise levels, making it a sustainable solution for hyperscale and AI-intensive data centers.
Johnson Controls (NYSE: JCI), a global leader in smart, safe, healthy, and sustainable buildings, has been recognized by Fortune for its innovative YORK® YVAM Air-Cooled Magnetic Bearing Chiller, which is designed for hyperscale and AI data centers. This latest accolade adds to the company's impressive track record of sustainability and technological innovation, with this being the third consecutive year of recognition on Fortune's prestigious Change the World list [1].The YORK YVAM chiller stands out for its significant environmental and operational benefits. It offers a 40% reduction in annual power consumption, zero on-site water usage, and operates at a quiet 65 decibels, making it an ideal solution for modern data centers [2]. These features not only address the growing energy demands and water consumption in data centers but also contribute to noise reduction, which is crucial for minimizing the impact on surrounding communities.
The YORK YVAM chiller's market-leading capabilities are a result of Johnson Controls' commitment to data center efficiency. The company's Advanced Development Engineering Center (JADEC) and Global Data Center Solutions organization play a critical role in continuously raising the performance standards of chillers, air handlers, and their subcomponents [2].
This recognition follows Johnson Controls' previous honors for heat pump technology in 2023 and the OpenBlue smart building platform in 2022, both of which have demonstrated substantial environmental and financial benefits [1]. Each year, Johnson Controls is one of the 50 companies selected by Fortune's editors and writers from among hundreds of global nominees, reflecting the company's consistent commitment to innovation and sustainability.
Johnson Controls' focus on data center efficiency is particularly timely as AI reshapes the world, making data centers increasingly vital to modern life and economic growth. By addressing the energy and carbon associated with data centers, Johnson Controls is unlocking more capacity to power advanced AI workloads, driving the AI-enabled transformation of human society [2].
