Vertical greenery system (VGS) is a sustainable solution to promote building energy saving and emission reduction, mitigate the urban heat island effect, as well as a crucial component of urban ecological construction. We summarized four main mechanisms of the thermal effects of VGSs, including shading effect, evapotranspiration effect, thermal insulation effect, and wind control effect. We elucidated the effects of VGSs on building cooling and energy saving, and analyzed the cooling effects of VGSs on plant canopy and outdoor ambient air, as well as their influence on mitigating the urban heat island effect. Based on available research on the thermal effects of VGSs, we identified key directions for future research, aiming to expedite the development of green cities and achieve carbon neutrality.
垂直绿化系统（VGS）是促进建筑节能减排、缓解城市热岛效应的可持续解决方案，也是城市生态建设的关键组成部分。我们总结了垂直绿化系统热效应的四种主要机制，包括遮阳效应、蒸散效应、隔热效应和防风效应。我们阐明了垂直绿化系统对建筑制冷和节能的影响，并分析了垂直绿化系统对植物冠层和室外环境空气的制冷效果，以及它们对缓解城市热岛效应的影响。基于对垂直绿化系统热效应的现有研究，我们确定了未来研究的关键方向，旨在加快绿色城市的发展并实现碳中和。
