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.

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.

This looks like a straightforward question about building standards and requirements. I think I can handle this one - ASHRAE and SMACNA are the key organizations that set standards for energy performance and indoor air quality, so I'll go with those.
