Considers the harmonic method easy and simple in use in contrast with the response factor method. But two questions require attention, i.e. the calculation of the cooling load from the steady part of radiant heat gain and the determination of harmonic order for high precision of calculation. With an example, gives a new formula for calculating cooling load from steady radiant heat gain and the required order of harmonic for practical calculation.
