What retains heat?
Any object will "try" to retain heat energy. The material determines how well it will accomplish this. For example, metal is a good conductor, so a sheet of metal will not retain heat very well. Air, or the other hard, is a bad conductor, so fiberglass insolation (will it's many air pockets) will tend to retain heat for some time.
