The International Code Council sounds familiar, but I can't remember if they specifically address these prerequisites.

ENERGY STAR seems like a strong candidate for both, but I feel like I might be mixing it up with something else.

I remember SMACNA being related to air quality standards, but I can't recall if they cover energy performance too.

I've got this! ASHRAE and SMACNA are the go-to organizations for building standards related to energy efficiency and indoor air quality. I'm pretty sure those are the correct answers for this question.

This is a tricky one. I'm not as familiar with the specific organizations and standards that are referenced. I'll have to make an educated guess here, but I'm not 100% confident in my answer.

Okay, let me see. The question is asking about the organizations that support the specific prerequisites for energy performance and indoor air quality. I think ASHRAE and SMACNA are good bets, but I'll double-check my notes to be sure.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. I know ASHRAE has some standards related to energy and indoor air, but I'm not sure if they specifically support the prerequisites mentioned. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Hmm, ASHRAE and ICC sound like the right answers. Though I'm still wondering if SMACNA has a secret indoor air quality rap album I'm missing out on.
