The ASHRAE bookstore has it at:

http://www.techstreet.com/ashrae/products/1911167

If you are an ASHRAE member you can download for free from:

https://ashrae.org/standards-research--technology/research

Look for the "Members-Only Research Projects Final Reports" 
and search for 1651 and then download the one from January 2016.
