CO2 emissions with materials

I am trying to model the CO2 emissions with various wall configurations. One that I wanted to model is a 2x6 (cellulose infill) wall with a wood fiber exterior insulation. From an energy standpoint, you can use polyisocyanurate with a lower R-value/in to portray this insulation material. However, from a metric tons/yr standpoint, a wood fiber exterior insulation would look worse than polyisocyanurate. Does anyone have any comments, or are there plans to update the material database with BEopt?

Thanks,
