DVL has officially announced the three organizations that saved the most watts, which earns them the prestigious *Less Watts* Award. The winner in the first category, with data centers less than 1,000 sq. ft., is Central Bucks School District. Temple University took the second category, made up of data centers from 1,000 to 5,000 sq. ft. The winner of the third category, encompassing data centers greater than 5,000 sq. ft., is SunGard. In addition to honoring the winners with the *Less Watts *Award, DVL is also making donations of $1,000 in each winner’s name to the Delaware Valley Green Building Council (DVGBC). “The *Less Watts *competition has been a blast,” says DVL Chief Executive Officer Mike Beck. “Everyone who participated was incredibly cooperative, enthusiastic and just really great to work with. We couldn’t be happier to *present the award to these outstanding organizations and look forward to helping others save energy with our “Less Watts” program.”*   The *Less Watts* Award ceremony, taking place today, is the official kickoff for the annual Greenbuild Conference. This annual conference, hosted by DVGBC this year in Philadelphia from November 20-22, will feature speakers, networking opportunities, industry showcases, LEED workshops and tours of Philadelphia’s green buildings.  To learn more about how DVL *helps its customers use Less Watts* with quality solutions from industry leader Liebert to build dynamic, energy efficient data centers, visit [www.dvlnet.com](https://www.dvlnet.com/).
