Artificial intelligence is fueling unprecedented demand for data centers — and with it, a major shift in how these facilities are cooled.

In our latest Off the Cuff episode, PHC News Editor Steve Smith sits down with Joe Choflet, vice president of sales and marketing at NIBCO, to discuss why liquid cooling is quickly becoming the standard for modern data centers. They explore how contractors and engineers can prepare for this rapidly growing market, the importance of early collaboration with manufacturers, supply chain considerations, labor challenges, and how innovations like direct-to-chip cooling are reshaping mechanical system design. 

This episode is a must-listen for any member of the PHCP industry seeking practical insights into one of the fastest-growing sectors in commercial construction!
