It is installed on the 'hot' side of the wall. Depending on where you live and the type of heating/cooling seasons you have, it can be on the exterior side or the interior side of the wall. In Florida, a vapor barrier is not necessary but a rain barrier house wrap is recommended. Besides moisture a vapor barrier is very effective in reducing convection losses. Be sure to check your local building codes for compliance. Hi Rick,

Be careful to not damage wiring and plumbing in the wall cavity. Existing expanding foam insulation can be cut with a hand saw, hacksaw blade, or a knife and removed in chunks by hand or trowel.

Eliminating these gaps prevents air convection from carrying heat between the interior and exterior of a home, which results in lowering the expense of heating or cooling a space.
