The search for sustainable building materials is a global discussion, and wood emerges as a viable option to steel and concrete due to its renewable nature. Wood can be transformed into Engineered Wood Products (EWP) through physical-chemical processes, making it capable of replacing conventional materials in construction. Medium Density Particleboard (MDP) is an engineered wood composite used in the furniture industry, with its application in construction being relatively unexplored. This work aims to evaluate the acoustic performance of an open-plan office with MDP partition elements using the objective acoustic parameters of ISO 3382-3:2022 standard. The research also presents the evaluation of acoustic insulation between meeting rooms separated by an innovative vertical partition made of MDP panels structured by steel studs, with measurements carried out according to ABNT NBR ISO 3382-2:2017 and ABNT NBR ISO 16283-1:2018 standards. The measurements were taken at the Cilla Tech Park office, located in Guarapuava-PR, and the results indicate that the environments have good acoustic qualities according to current regulations.
