The theoretical calculations are not diffucult, and fairly sure there are some Ashrae guides or similar. The real challenge is that the ventilation is very dependant on (1) internal heat gain, and (2) much more on wind pressure which you cannot control.
Other issues to consider is that you are working with very small pressure differentials, and makeup/relief air into the space is very important.
