Urban greenery substantially influences the distribution of solar energy in urban areas and thus plays an irreplaceable role in creating local climate. This paper introduces the principles of urban vegetation functioning as a perfect air conditioning system that efficiently cools the environment and balances temperatures through evapotranspiration. It is based on the basic physics of energy transformation and known physiological processes of plants. We demonstrate the possibilities of quantification of the air conditioning role of vegetation in energy units, including the assessment and monetary quantification of ecosystem services and examples of different types of thermal data for assessing the urban environment and climate. We offer the possibility of implementing this approach to spatial planning.

城市绿化极大地影响了城市地区太阳能的分布，因此在创造当地气候方面发挥着不可替代的作用。本文介绍了城市植被作为完美空调系统的原理，该系统通过蒸发蒸腾有效地冷却环境并平衡温度。它基于能量转换的基本物理学和已知的植物生理过程。我们展示了量化植被在能源单位中的空调作用的可能性，包括生态系统服务的评估和货币量化，以及用于评估城市环境和气候的不同类型热数据的示例。我们提供了实施这种空间规划方法的可能性。
