Conduction: Heat transferred through solids (i.e. touching something cold and feel your hand get cold).  In other words, if it’s cold outside, the metal body of your van will conduct the heat inside to the outside, cooling the van’s internal temperature.  Vice versa for hot temperatures.  Remember, hot always moves to cold.  When you touch something cold, it feels like the cold is creeping into your hand, but actually, it’s the cold object drawing the heat away.
