Johnson Controls and NUS Collaborate on Sustainable Data Center Research for AI Scaling

Johnson Controls and the National University of Singapore have initiated a collaboration focused on sustainable data center research aimed at scaling artificial intelligence in Singaporean markets. The partnership explores ways to increase computing capacity while reducing power and water consumption in power-, water-, and space-constrained environments. Johnson Controls is contributing expertise in thermal management, controls, engineering, and operational efficiency to the research.

The research directly addresses critical infrastructure challenges for responsible AI growth, including power availability, water consumption, and capacity. The collaboration aims to inform more efficient infrastructure designs applicable to Singapore and other tropical markets.
