Designbuilder "Simple HVAC" option uses the EneryPlus Ideal Loads object where the loads are considered to be met directly without use of HVAC equipment through a district heating/cooling system. EnergyPlus displays the unprocessed loads under 'District heating' and 'District cooling' at Summary tab ( Simulation screen).
To model the VRF equipment in detail you will need to use the "Detailed HVAC" model option. As a starting point I suggest to use one of the VRF HVAC templates. For more information see DesignBuilder Program Help.
