WORK HISTORY
Acoustic Consultant @Wsdg
Contributed to the acoustic design of 15+ projects, including concert halls, nightclubs, luxury buildings, restaurants, and churches, among others, specifying acoustic insulation and acoustic treatment in compliance with building codes, international standards, and Class A world criteria- Developed and presented acoustic proposals and reports using 3D AutoCAD drawings, Bluebeam, graphics, indicating wall partitions and finishes, detailing acoustic metrics such as STC, NC, IIC, RT, and STI, using acoustic simulation software like EASE, SonArchitect, Insul, and own code while collaborating with architects, interior designers, and other design professionals- Collaborated with multiple stakeholders and multidisciplinary teams, effectively coordinating the acoustic team to meet project goals and deadlines- Proposed and implemented processes, such as the acoustic project management flowcharts, report templates, and measurement protocols to enhance quality assurance in acoustic design and project management.

ABOUT LUIS HERMIDA
I am an Acoustic Consultant specializing in architectural and environmental acoustics, with a PhD in engineering and a strong focus on human-centered acoustic design and sustainability.My work sits at the intersection of technical analysis and human experience. I support projects in the evaluation, design, and optimization of acoustic environments, integrating quantitative methods with a qualitative understanding of how sound is perceived in space.I have contributed to the acoustic design of 30+ projects, including concert halls, nightclubs, luxury residential buildings, restaurants, churches, and applied research initiatives. My work involves specifying acoustic insulation and treatment strategies in compliance with building codes, international standards, and high-performance design criteria.I develop and communicate acoustic solutions through modelling, field measurements, and technical reporting, using tools such as EASE, CadnaA, SonArchitect, and Insul. My approach supports design decisions across key acoustic parameters, while aligning technical performance with the intended spatial experience.With a background bridging engineering, research, and music, I bring a unique perspective to acoustic design, particularly in projects where sound is not only controlled, but intentionally designed.I am particularly interested in projects involving architectural and urban acoustic design, sustainable acoustics, soundscape and public space, as well as cultural and research-driven initiatives.
