Abstract This study tested, in Long-Life Housing, partition wall between housing units which composite with middle lintel and Loess board, whether corresponded with requirements for performance criteria related with codes. It was get a performance level of Loess board that compared with gypsum board which used to partition wall components generally. It was tested requirements for fire resistance and sound insulation performance of partition wall in Korea Building Code. The results are, a insulation of the wall with gypsum board was better than Loess board, integrity of wall with loess board was better than gypsum board in fire. The sound insulation was, Loess board was better gypsum board due to porosity of loess and rice straw. Therefore, the partition wall between building units which composite with gypsum board on inside layer and Loess board on outside layer, with glass wool for insulation, is prefer to apply.
