An object in a room at ambient temperature would slowly warm up to equal the same temperature from the conduction of the warmer air around it. If the temperature of an object can “hold below ambient”, it means it must be able to allow the object to shed heat energy, at least at the same rate or faster than it absorbs the ambient heat. I.E. cooling.
