Is there any correlation between the shape of a 3d object and it's ability to conserve energy?

I'm interested to know if there is a correlation betwen the shape of the "object" and its heat conserving capacity, given the same surface area, material composition and external factors.  

ex: Does a sphere lose energy faster than a cube?

A sphere loses energy slower than a cube.

The shape determines how much surface area for a given volume an object has.

Higher surface area means more contact with the outside and quicker heat transfer.

This is why radiators have many small pipes with coolant and also have fins attached to the pipes.

A sphere has the least amount of surface area per volume and so it's most efficient at keeping its temperature all other things being equal.
