I added the following to my .emacs to keep lowercase.

(setq org-babel-results-keyword "results")

(setq org-structure-template-alist
      (quote (("s" "#+begin_src ?\n\n#+end_src" "<src lang=3D\"?\">\n\n</sr=
c>")
	      ("e" "#+begin_example\n?\n#+end_example" "<example>\n?\n</example>")
	      ("q" "#+begin_quote\n?\n#+end_quote" "<quote>\n?\n</quote>")
	      ("v" "#+begin_verse\n?\n#+end_verse" "<verse>\n?\n/verse>")
	      ("c" "#+begin_center\n?\n#+end_center" "<center>\n?\n/center>")
	      ("l" "#+begin_latex\n?\n#+end_latex" "<literal style=3D\"latex\">\n?=
\n</literal>")
	      ("L" "#+latex: " "<literal style=3D\"latex\">?</literal>")
	      ("h" "#+begin_html\n?\n#+end_html" "<literal style=3D\"html\">\n?\n<=
/literal>")
	      ("H" "#+html: " "<literal style=3D\"html\">?</literal>")
	      ("a" "#+begin_ascii\n?\n#+end_ascii")
	      ("A" "#+ascii: ")
	      ("i" "#+index: ?" "#+index: ?")
	      ("I" "#+include %file ?" "<include file=3D%file markup=3D\"?\">"))))
