   This may seem very basic but make sure that you have turned off the 
automatic heating and cooling in TRNBuild so that the temperature of 
your zone is floating. You can verify this by running your simulation; 
the zone temperature should more or less follow the ambient temperature. 
You will then implement a thermostat to watch the zone temperature and 
turn on/off the heat pump accordingly.

   If that is what you are doing already and the power and capacity of 
the heat pump is not changing at all then it must mean that neither the 
return air temperature nor the water inlet temperature is changing at 
all. It could also mean that the return air temperature and inlet water 
temperature are outside the range of data values given in the data file. 
The routine that reads the data file and interpolate within the range 
but cannot extrapolate beyond the range given.

kind regards,

  David
