I'm not particularly aware of any singular text book in this field yet,
but there are a number of useful journals. There is a good section in
H. Awbi's book entitled Ventilation of Buildings. Joe Clarkes book
Energy Simulation in Building Design also has a section on linking CFD
with network or bulk airflow modelling.<br>
<br>
Brad, are you interested in external flows for wind pressure
calculations or for building ventilation flows? I might be able to
point you in the direction of a few interesting texts and articles
then. The other thing to try if you are in academia is to do a search
of a database of doctoral theses like the one held by the British
Library.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>

The below is probably the best first start text book and one that most
universities and CFD courses have in the reference lists.<br>
<br>
<div class="title">An Introduction To Computational Fluid Dynamics:
The Finite Volume Method<br>
</div>
<span class="prodAuthor">Versteeg, H. K.; Author: With Malalasekera,
W.</span><br>
Published: August 1995<br>
Pearson Higher Education<br>
ISBN: 0582218845<br>
<br>
Pretty comprehensive introduction to the black art but not purely
associated with buildings. You'll need to hit the journals for more
dedicated stuff probably but they will depend on your area of work.<br>
<br>
Someone on CFDonline might know of better texts and they have a useful
list of references there too.<br>
<br>
