This study aims to explore effective strategies for urban green environment and landscape design based on thermal energy cycle simulation and thermal image analysis, in order to improve the thermal comfort and ecological sustainability of cities. This article reviews relevant research and points out the urban heat island effect and its negative impact on the living environment. By simulating the thermal energy cycle, the thermal relief index was calculated and the comfort level under different environmental conditions was evaluated, providing a theoretical basis for subsequent analysis. In the analysis of urban green environment thermal images, this study constructed thermal images and analyzed the impact of different landscape elements on urban thermal environment through weight calculation. Using thermal images, we delved into the spatial distribution characteristics of urban thermal environment and its relationship with urban design, revealing the importance of landscape design in improving urban thermal environment. Finally, based on the analysis of urban landscape pattern and the coordination of thermal environment, this article proposes a series of optimization strategies aimed at reducing urban thermal load and enhancing urban ecological functions through scientific landscape design. By integrating the methods of thermal energy cycle and landscape design, this study provides feasible suggestions for future urban green environment design and emphasizes the importance of thermal science in urban planning.
