Article coated with a solar control coating having solar protection and thermal insulation

A building comprising an architectural transparency, the architectural transparency comprising:

• a glass substrate comprising a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface;
• and
• a solar control coating applied over the second surface of the substrate, the solar control coating consisting of:
• a first silicon aluminum nitride layer over at least a portion of the second surface of the substrate, wherein the first silicon aluminum nitride layer comprises a total thickness of 7.9 nm to 10.6 nm;
• a nickel-chromium alloy layer over and in direct contact with at least a portion of the first silicon aluminum nitride layer;
• and
• a second silicon aluminum nitride layer over and in direct contact with at least a portion of the nickel-chromium alloy layer, wherein a ratio of the thickness of the first silicon aluminum nitride layer to the second silicon aluminum nitride layer is at least 1:2,
• wherein the nickel-chromium alloy layer is substantially free of nitrogen and oxygen,
• wherein the first silicon aluminum nitride layer and the second silicon aluminum nitride layer comprise from 10 wt. % to 20 wt. % aluminum, and
• wherein the transparency has an exterior reflective aesthetic (Rfb*) value measured from the uncoated side of the transparency ranging from −10 to −5.
