| Planned use | It could be useful for it.Wikipedia infoboxes, anyway I'm planning to add statements to Italian towns with a bot |
| Robot and gadget jobs | yes, I could write (and I'm writing) one |
| Applicable "stated in"-value | e.g. for Italy: Legge 26 agosto 1993, n. 412 (to be created as instance of ordinary law (Q2705451)) |

Motivation[edit]
This property could be really useful (eg. for infoboxes), it's about a kind of data spread in different world countries (as explained in en.wp and it.wp articles) and, not secondarily, we have ready data for all Italian towns. Ferdi2005[Mail] 19:12, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
Discussion[edit]
It is a data important for energy saving related to building heating and it will be more relevant due to the green energy transition. Bramfab (talk) 20:12, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

- I don't fully understand this quantity, but I think it would help to qualify these numbers to show the base temperature used for these calculations, and maybe qualify with other methodological details. For example, I can't even tell if this is using Celsius or Farenheit days. --99of9 (talk) 01:56, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
@Ferdi2005, Luca.favorido, Sabas88, Parma1983, Carlobia, Patafisik: 
Done, though see Property talk:P9496#Further details (User:99of9's concern can be solved pretty neatly with specific units). I'm assuming here that Italy uses one uniform kind of degree day; if there are multiple reckonings in use, please correct Italian degree day (Q106651574) accordingly.

- @Vahurzpu: I think this should have been discussed before creating the property. --- Jura 11:15, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
