According to PwC, Asia Pacific captures around 30% of global data centre capacity. In Singapore, data centres account for an estimated 7% of national energy consumption, a share that is expected to rise to 12% by 2030. These trends are sharpening the focus on next-generation cooling and energy-efficient infrastructure.
Johnson Controls has announced the expansion of its Innovation Centre in Singapore to accelerate sustainable data centre solutions across Asia Pacific.
It will invest up to $60 million in the Innovation Centre over the next five years and expand its engineering teams to 90-100 roles in the same timeframe. The investment will deepen the company’s expertise in thermal management and advanced cooling strategies, accelerate the development of next-generation cooling prototypes through ecosystem partnerships, and strengthen smart connectivity and digitalisation.
