Local residents and community leaders are key participants in the development of the Empowerhouse. The Empowerhouse team is excited to be working with the Deanwood community, one of the greenest communities in Washington, DC.

Publications

Deanwood & Empowerhouse Recipe Books:
In conjunction with the Solar Decathlon competition, two recipe books are being created: one from Solar Decathlon members and the other will be from Deanwood community members. The Solar Decathlon book will comprise of recipes involving the herbs and vegetables that will be grown in the Lederer Gardens and will be used by the students living in the competition house.

We hope the Deanwood book will create a common interest point for community members as well as create a collection of recipes unique to Deanwood. Both books will be displayed in the competition house. For more information or questions please email Emily Kerns at kernsemily@gmail.com.
