We have started to study the indoor physical environment affecting the state of occupants' mind, especially reactive depression and performance of creativity. In this paper, we review psychiatric researches and psychological studies, which have linkage with reactive depression and/or performance of creativity. A trial experiment with three different thermal environments was performed employing both Sudoku (Number Place) as an evaluating tool of creativity and the arithmetical performance test as an evaluating tool of productivity. Some subjects had a different trend of performance between Sudoku and the arithmetical test.
