Abstract
A fenestration system includes opposing first and second rigid components, a gasket interposing the first and second rigid components, the gasket being made of an electrically-conductive material and exhibiting a baseline resistance when arranged between the first and second rigid components, and a control system communicably coupled to the gasket with one or more wires and operable to monitor a real-time resistance of the gasket and generate a signal when the real-time resistance deviates from the baseline resistance.

A fenestration system, comprising:
- opposing first and second rigid components;
- a gasket interposing the first and second rigid components, the gasket being made of an electrically-conductive material and exhibiting a baseline resistance when arranged between the first and second rigid components;
- and
- a control system communicably coupled to the gasket with one or more wires and operable to monitor a real-time resistance of the gasket and generate a signal when the real-time resistance deviates from the baseline resistance.

A method of monitoring a fenestration system, comprising:
- measuring a baseline resistance across a gasket forming part of the fenestration system, the fenestration system further including:
- opposing first and second rigid components, the gasket interposing the first and second rigid components and being made of an electrically-conductive material;
- and
- a control system communicably coupled to the gasket with one or more wires;
- monitoring a real-time resistance of the gasket with the control system;
- and
- generating a signal with the control system when the real-time resistance deviates from the baseline resistance.
