Maximize embodied carbon reductions in design optimization

I'm working on reducing the embodied carbon of a project of mine, and I'm having to compare column systems, between WF columns and HSS. WF columns have significantly lower embodied carbon (~60% reductions when using the same weight of steel), so I'd love to be able to compare the two without having to do a ton of manual calcs. Could there be a way to toggle between designing for steel weight and designing between minimum embodied carbon based on industry average embodied carbon values? This would also require trial groups to be a mix of WF and HSS columns.
