Albedo is a non-dimensional, unitless quantity that indicates how well a surface reflects solar energy. Albedo varies between 0 and 1. Albedo commonly refers to the "whiteness" of a surface, with 0 meaning black and 1 meaning white. A value of 0 means the surface is a "perfect absorber" that absorbs all incoming energy. Absorbed solar energy can be used to heat the surface or, when sea ice is present, melt the surface. A value of 1 means the surface is a "perfect reflector" that reflects all incoming energy. Albedo - Stockholm, Sweden Albedo generally applies to visible light, although it may involve some of the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. You understand the concept of low albedo intuitively when you avoid walking barefoot on blacktop on a hot summer day. Blacktop has a much lower albedo than concrete because the black surface absorbs more energy and reflects very little energy. Sea ice has a much higher albedo compared to other Earth

The Royal Palace of Stockholm stands proudly on Slottsbacken in the Swedish capital’s charming Old Town. Designed by master architect Nicodemus Tessin the Younger – this enormous jewel of a regal building was inaugurated in 1754. Tessin learnt his craft in France, Italy and England, where he studied architecture and landscape gardening for many years. A former pupil of Lorenzo Bernini, he drew heavily on the Baroque architecture of Rome – which explains why he decided to model The Royal of Palace of Stockholm on a Roman palace. The Royal Palace

The functionalist-style townhouses were designed by architect Paul Hedqvist and built by Olle Engkvist in 1929-1932. They later became known as Per-Albinhusen after Engkvist’s friend, prime minister Per-Albin Hansson, who moved into Ålstensgatan 40 soon after they were built. Today the popular townhouses are listed buildings due to their national architectural importance. International functionalist architecture developed during the aftermath of World War I and was inspired by a need to build a better world for the growing population through highly functional housing. Functionalist structures typically feature identical mass-produced elements, cubic shapes, clean-lines and the use of basic raw materials. The genre was a major influence on Funkis architecture which became popular in Sweden in the 1930’s. Ålsten - Bromma
