Panasonic Corporation's Eco Solutions Company launched "OWNER'S NAVI," a website exclusively for store owners aimed at communicating about store lighting design. OWNER'S NAVI offers content supporting store development and management through lighting, including CG space simulations, cost simulations, and case studies of LED lighting, which is increasingly being adopted due to its energy-saving and long lifespan. This content allows store owners to concretize their lighting space image from the conceptual stage and clearly communicate their intentions to store designers in advance. OWNER'S NAVI's CG space simulations and cost simulations support six business types: cafes, restaurants, supermarkets, beauty salons, apparel shops, car showrooms, and select shops, with updates and additions planned. Store owners can also send emails to their store designers via the website. Store designers can review the store space image they receive on "PLANNER'S NAVI" and quickly create a lighting plan to realize the store owner's intended space. It is possible to automatically calculate the number of lighting units required by selecting conditions similar to the planned store area, ceiling height, and interior color, and to perform a cost simulation including electricity costs based on business hours.

By further enhancing this site, Panasonic Corporation Eco Solutions Company will act as a bridge between store owners and store designers and support the acceleration of the conversion to LED lighting in stores.
