All materials will conduct energy to some degree. Even an insulator like rubber is conductive to electricity if the voltage is high enough, ie into the megavolt range. Silver is the most conductive for direct current, followed by Copper. Silver isn't used in electronics due to its low melting point. For specific electrical properties for the elements, go to http://www.webelements.com, click on the element in question then look on the left for "Bulk properties". The conductivity for an element is the reciprocal of the resistivity, or 1/R.

Your question is a bit unclear. If you are asking which materials conduct electricity or heat (both of which are forms of energy), the answer would be metals. Metals are good conductors of heat as well as electricity.

In addition the the above answer water is also an excellent conductor of energy and heat.

All, except perfect insulators.
