Johnson Controls International on Tuesday launched a reference design guide series for 1 gigawatt AI data centres. The company said the guides systematically cover the full thermal management process and provide cooling architectures tailored to different computing densities, local environments and altitude conditions. The first release details water-cooled chiller plant design, with plans to expand to air-cooled and absorption chillers. The architecture supports both water- and air-cooled IT loads.
